Lemma 6.7 (Liouville theorem on a cylinder).

Let (Q,gQ)≡(D×ℝ,gQ)(Q,g_{Q})\equiv(D\times\mathbb{R},g_{Q}) be a cylinder with a product Riemannian metric gQ=gD⊕d​z2g_{Q}=g_{D}\oplus dz^{2}, where (D,gD)(D,g_{D}) is a closed Riemannian manifold. Denote by λD>0\lambda_{D}>0 the lowest eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of (D,gD)(D,g_{D}) acting on functions. If uu is a harmonic function on QQ satisfying the growth control

(6.59) |u|=O⁡(eλc⋅z)|u|=O(e^{\lambda_{c}\cdot z})

for some λc∈(0,λD)\lambda_{c}\in(0,\sqrt{\lambda_{D}}), then u≡0u\equiv 0.
