Positive harmonic functions on the Heisenberg group II
[Fonctions harmoniques positives sur le groupe de Heisenberg II]
Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques, Tome 8 (2021), pp. 973-1003.

Nous décrivons les fonctions harmoniques positives extrémales pour les mesures à support fini sur le groupe de Heisenberg discret : elles sont proportionnelles à des caractères ou à des translatées d’induites de caractères.

We describe the extremal positive harmonic functions for finitely supported measures on the discrete Heisenberg group: they are proportional either to characters or to translates of induced from characters.
