In this work we study the asymptotics of the fractional Laplacian as s→ 0+ on any complete Riemannian manifold (M,g), both of finite and infinite volume. Surprisingly enough, when M is not stochastically complete this asymptotics is related to the existence of bounded harmonic functions on M. As a corollary, we can find the asymptotics of the fractional s-perimeter on (essentially) every complete manifold, generalising both the existing results for ℝn and for the Gaussian space. In doing so, from many sets E⊂ M we are able to produce a bounded harmonic function associated to E, which in general can be non-constant.
