Remark 2.8.
The asymptotics in Theorem 2.6 have an intuitive electro-magnetic interpretation. Namely, for large, the electric potential determined by the union of point charges on is approximated by an evenly distributed charge on the corresponding plane in the universal cover. The electric potential of this uniformly charged plate corresponds to the linear term in . Further, for any number of charged plates parallel to the -plane located at , , we can add together the corresponding to get the potential , and the potential at large distances looks like the potential due to uniformly charged plates.
