A Fatou theorem for $F$-harmonic functions

In this paper we study a class of functions that appear naturally in some equidistribution problems and that we call $F$-harmonic. These are functions of the universal cover of a closed and negatively curved which possess an integral representation analogous to the Poisson representation of harmonic functions, where the role of the Poisson kernel is played by a Hölder continuous kernel. More precisely we prove a theorem à la Fatou about the nontangential convergence of quotients of such functions, from which we deduce some basic properties such as the uniqueness of the $F$-harmonic function on a compact manifold and of the integral representation of $F$-harmonic functions.
