The homogenous tree as an electric network

Probability 2010-07-28 v1

Abstract

Let T be an infinite homogenous tree of homogeneity q+1q+1. Attaching to each edge the conductance 11, the tree will became an electric network. The reversible Markov chain associated to this network is the simple random walk on the homogenous tree. Using results regarding the equivalence between a reversible Markov chain and an electric network, we will express voltages, currents, the Green fuction hitting times, transitions number, probabilities of reaching a set before another, as functions of the distance on the homogenous tree. This connection enables us to give simpler proofs for the properties of the random walk under discussion.
