Abstract

We study unbounded harmonic functions for a second order differential operator on a homogeneous manifold of negative curvature which is a semidirect product of a nilpotent Lie group $N$ and $A={\mathbb R}^+.$ We prove that if $F$ is harmonic and satisfies some growth condition then $F$ has an asymptotic expansion as $a\to 0$ with coefficients from ${\cal D}^\prime (N).$ Then we single out a set of at most two of these coefficients which determine $F.$
Then using asymptotic expansions we are able to prove some theorems answering partially the following question. Is a given harmonic function the Poisson integral of “something" from the boundary $N$?
