Pole Regularity of Green function and rigidity

Let G(p, .) be the normalized minimal positive Green function on a complete nonparabolic Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and set b = G^(1/(2-n)). Colding established the following rigidity result in dimension three: if |nabla b|^2 admits a C^2 regularity across the pole, then the manifold must be...
