Abstract

We study the boundary theory of a connected weighted graph GG from the viewpoint of stochastic integration. For the Hilbert space \HE of Dirichlet-finite functions on GG, we construct a Gel'fand triple S\ciHE\ciSS \ci {\mathcal H}_{\mathcal E} \ci S'. This yields a probability measure P\mathbb{P} on SS' and an isometric embedding of HE{\mathcal H}_{\mathcal E} into L2(S,P)L^2(S',\mathbb{P}), and hence gives a concrete representation of the boundary as a certain class of "distributions" in SS'. In a previous paper, we proved a discrete Gauss-Green identity for infinite networks which produces a boundary representation for harmonic functions of finite energy, given as a certain limit. In this paper, we use techniques from stochastic integration to make the boundary bdG\operatorname{bd}G precise as a measure space, and obtain a boundary integral representation as an integral over SS'.
