TL;DR
The paper extends Nevanlinna theory to complete Kähler connected sums with non-parabolic ends, studying the value distribution of meromorphic maps $f:M\to X$ into projective manifolds. It constructs a heat-kernel–driven framework for Nevanlinna functions $T_f(r,L)$, $m_f(r,D)$, and $N_f(r,D)$ and proves a second main theorem with a defect term $\Xi(r,\delta,\kappa)$ under geometric conditions including PH and Ricci lower bounds. The authors derive defect relations and Picard-type conclusions, showing that Picard's little theorem holds for meromorphic maps under a volume-growth condition, and that Liouville rigidity for holomorphic functions follows from the Cauchy-Riemann equations in this setting. These results significantly generalize Nevanlinna theory to non-parabolic ends and clarify when Liouville rigidity and Picard-type phenomena persist on complicated global geometries. The work provides concrete classes of examples (Hermitian and Kähler connected sums) where the theory applies, highlighting the role of heat kernel and volume-growth in complex-analytic rigidity phenomena.
Abstract
All harmonic functions on $\mathbb C^m$ possess Liouville's property, which is well-known as the Liouville's theorem. In 1979, Kuz'menko and Molchanov discovered a phenomenon that the Liouville's property is not rigid for some harmonic functions on the connected sum $\mathbb C^m\#\mathbb C^m,$ where there exist a large number of non-constant bounded harmonic functions. This discovery motivates us to explore conditions under which harmonic functions possess Liouville's property. In this paper, we discuss the value distribution of meromorphic mappings from complete Kähler connected sums with non-parabolic ends into complex projective manifolds. Under a geometric condition, we establish a second main theorem in Nevanlinna theory. As a consequence, we prove that the Cauchy-Riemann equation ensures the rigidity of Liouville's property for harmonic functions if such connected sums satisfy a volume growth condition.
