An extremal length criterion for the parabolicity of Riemannian spaces

Wellington Ham Ow

Vol. 23 (1967), No. 3, 585–590
Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to show that a given Riemannian space satisfying a regularity condition is parabolic if and only if the extremal distance of a fixed ball in the space from the ideal boundary of the space is infinite. We will also show that the harmonic modulus of a space bounded by two sets of boundary components coincides with the extremal distance between the two sets.
