Propriété de Liouville et vitesse de fuite du mouvement brownien
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 344 (2007) no. 11, pp. 685-690.

Soit M une variété riemannienne complète connexe de courbure sectionnelle bornée. Si M est le revêtement régulier d'une variété de volume fini, alors il n'y a pas de fonctions harmoniques bornées non constantes si, et seulement si, la vitesse de fuite du mouvement brownien est nulle.

Let M be a complete connected Riemannian manifold with bounded sectional curvature. Under the assumption that M is a regular covering of a manifold with finite volume, we establish that M is Liouville if, and only if, the linear rate of escape of Brownian motion on M vanishes.
