โฆ Synopsis
Let M be a d-dimensional complete simply-connected negatively-curved manifold. There is a natural notion of Hausdorff dimension for its boundary at infinity. This is shown to provide a notion of global curvature or average rate of growth in two probabilistic senses: First, on surfaces (d=2), it is twice the critical drift separating transience from recurrence for Brownian motion with constantlength radial drift. Equivalently, it is twice the critical ; for the existence of a Green function for the operator 2ร2&; r . Second, for any d, it is the critical intensity for almost sure coverage of the boundary by random shadows cast by balls, appropriately scaled, produced from a constant-intensity Poisson point process.
