Yau's dimension comparison for harmonic functions of integer polynomial growth under nonnegative Ricci curvature

Theorem 1.1: there are an even n≥8n\ge8 (the paper allows n=16n=16), an integer k≥2k\ge2 (k=50000k=50000) and a complete smooth metric on Rn\mathbb R^n with Ric≥0\mathrm{Ric}\ge0, Euclidean near the origin, asymptotic volume ratio strictly between 0 and 1, and hk>hk(Rn)h_k>h_k(\mathbb R^n); the metric has nonunique tangent cones at infinity. Companion: in dimension three, for 4/9<v<14/9<v<1, 1<c<9v/41<c<9v/4 and all large kk, metrics with Ric≥0\mathrm{Ric}\ge0, AVR vv and hk≥c(k+1)2h_k\ge c(k+1)^2, which can be made (1+ϵ)(1+\epsilon)-bi-Lipschitz to Euclidean. The metric depends on kk. Not shown: a single metric violating the bound for all large kk, or anything about the finite-dimensionality results, which stand.
