The paper proves an explicit Green’s function on CP^n with the Fubini–Study metric (Theorem 5.5) by solving a 1D ODE for ϕ(r) on CROSS/locally harmonic Blaschke manifolds using the volume density V_CP^n and the integral identity in Lemma 5.4; this yields G(ξ,η) = −(2n·vol(CP^n))^{-1}[log(sin r) − Σ_{j=1}^{n−1}(2j)^{-1} sin^{-2j} r] up to an additive constant, which is acceptable since Green’s functions on compact manifolds are defined modulo constants (their property (4) only enforces a constant mean in the second argument) . The model independently derives the same core expression via the radial Laplacian and a telescoping identity and correctly obtains ΔG = δ_η − 1/vol in distribution. However, it contains two sign mistakes: (i) a sign slip in the flux step (they equate ∫_{Ω_ε}ΔG with + rather than − the boundary integral at the end), and (ii) an incorrect sign for the mean-zero normalization constant—it subtracts a positive constant inside the brackets, which increases the mean instead of canceling it. The paper’s result stands; the model’s normalization claim is wrong. The paper also clearly states the definition of Green’s function used (property (1)) and that the integral over the second variable is a constant (property (4)), so not fixing the additive constant is consistent with their framework .

\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions

\textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid

\textbf{Justification:}

The explicit Green’s function on CP\^n is derived correctly from a general ODE for locally harmonic Blaschke manifolds, using the known volume density and an elementary integral identity. The result is valuable for subsequent dynamical applications. While the paper is careful and correct, adding a brief note on normalization (additive constant) would further assist readers who prefer the mean-zero convention; otherwise, the derivation and statement are accurate and complete.
