Abstract
We study the boundary theory of a connected weighted graph G from the viewpoint of stochastic integration. For the Hilbert space
HE of Dirichlet-finite functions on G, we construct a Gel'fand triple
S ⊆ HE ⊆ S'. This yields a probability measure P on S' and an isometric embedding of HE into L2(S',P), and hence gives a concrete representation of the boundary as a certain class of "distributions'' in S'. 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 bd G precise as a measure space, and obtain a boundary integral representation as an integral over S'.
