We study (p-harmonic) singular functions, defined by means of upper gradients, in bounded domains in metric measure spaces. It is shown that singular functions exist if and only if the complement of the domain has positive capacity, and that they satisfy very precise capacitary identities for superlevel sets. Suitably normalized singular functions are called Green functions. Uniqueness of Green functions is largely an open problem beyond unweighted Rn, but we show that all Green functions (in a given domain and with the same singularity) are comparable. As a consequence, for p-harmonic functions with a given pole we obtain a similar comparison result near the pole. Various characterizations of singular functions are also given. Our results hold in complete metric spaces with a doubling measure supporting a p-Poincaré inequality, or under similar local assumptions.
