Abstract

Benjamini and Schramm (1996) used circle packing to prove that every transient, bounded degree planar graph admits non-constant harmonic functions of finite Dirichlet energy. We refine their result, showing in particular that for every transient, bounded degree, simple planar triangulation TT and every circle packing of TT in a domain DD, there is a canonical, explicit bounded linear isomorphism between the space of harmonic Dirichlet functions on TT and the space of harmonic Dirichlet functions on DD.
