Two-point homogeneous manifolds
In this paper, we get the sharpest known to date lower bounds for the minimal Green energy of the compact harmonic manifolds of any dimension. Our proof generalizes previous ad-hoc arguments for the most basic harmonic manifold, i.e. the sphere, extending it to the general case and remarkably simplifying both the conceptual approach and the computations.
