It is important and interesting to study harmonic functions on a Riemannian manifold. In an earlier work of Li and Tam [21] it was demonstrated that the dimensions of various spaces of bounded and positive harmonic functions are closely related to the number of ends of a manifold. For the linear space consisting of all harmonic functions of polynomial growth of degree at most d on a complete Riemannian manifold Mn of dimension n, denoted by Hd(Mn), it was proved by Li and Tam [20] that the dimension of the space H1(M) always satisfies dimH1(M) ⩽ dimH1(Rn) when M has non‐negative Ricci curvature. They went on to ask as a refinement of a conjecture of Yau [32] whether in general dim Hd(Mn) ⩽ dimHd(Rn)for all d. Colding and Minicozzi made an important contribution to this question in a sequence of papers [5–11] by showing among other things that dimHd(M) is finite when M has non‐negative Ricci curvature. On the other hand, in a very remarkable paper [16], Li produced an elegant and powerful argument to prove the following. Recall that M satisfies a weak volume growth condition if, for some constant A and ν, 1.1 Vx(R)⩽A(Rr)νVx(r)
