On the Martin compactification of a bounded Lipschitz domain in a riemannian manifold
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 28 (1978) no. 2, pp. 25-52.

The Martin compactification of a bounded Lipschitz domain DR n is shown to be D ¯ for a large class of uniformly elliptic second order partial differential operators on D.

Let X be an open Riemannian manifold and let MX be open relatively compact, connected, with Lipschitz boundary. Then M ¯ is the Martin compactification of M associated with the restriction to M of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on X. Consequently an open Riemannian manifold X has at most one compactification which is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary whose interior is X.

Soit DR n un domaine borné à frontière lipschitzienne. On montre que D ¯ est le compactifié de Martin pour une classe assez étendue d’opérateurs uniformément elliptiques aux dérivées partielles d’ordre deux.

Soient X une variété riemannienne ouverte et MX un domaine relativement compact à frontière lipschitzienne. On a alors que M ¯ est le compactifié de Martin défini par la restriction au domaine D de l’opérateur de Laplace-Beltrami sur X. Par conséquent, à chaque variété riemannienne ouverte X on peut associer au plus une variété riemannienne compact à bord dont X est l’intérieur.
