Dilation invariance of the Laplacian and harmonic functions #
TauCeti.Analysis.InnerProductSpace.Laplacian.Basic records invariance under rigid motions and the
Laplacian scaling law under affine homotheties. This file transports the homothety bookkeeping to
harmonicity: under the right-composition AffineMap.homothety a c, harmonicity is preserved and
reflected when c ≠ 0.
These lemmas are a small Lane C prerequisite from the PDE roadmap. They let later mean-value, maximum-principle, and Poisson-kernel arguments normalize balls by translating and rescaling without reproving the Laplacian calculation each time.

Harmonicity is invariant under nonzero homothety.
For c ≠ 0, the function y ↦ f (AffineMap.homothety a c y) is harmonic at x iff f
is harmonic at AffineMap.homothety a c x.
Harmonicity on a neighbourhood of a set is invariant under nonzero homothety.
Harmonicity is invariant under nonzero dilation.
For c ≠ 0, the function x ↦ f (c • x) is harmonic at x iff f is harmonic at
c • x.
Harmonicity on a neighbourhood of a set is invariant under nonzero dilation.
Harmonicity is invariant under the affine normalization z ↦ x + c • z when the scale
is nonzero.
For c ≠ 0, the function z ↦ f (x + c • z) is harmonic at y iff f is harmonic at
x + c • y.
Harmonicity on a neighbourhood of a set is invariant under the affine normalization
z ↦ x + c • z when the scale is nonzero.
For c ≠ 0, the function z ↦ f (x + c • z) is harmonic near (fun z ↦ x + c • z) ⁻¹' s
iff f is harmonic near s.
