This paper studies potential theory on treebolic space, that is, the horocyclic product of a regular tree and hyperbolic upper half plane. Relying on the analysis on strip complexes developed by the authors, a family of Laplacians with “vertical drift” parameters is considered. We investigate the positive harmonic functions associated with those Laplacians.
Ce travail est dedié à une étude de la théorie du potentiel sur l’espace arbolique, i.e., le produit horcyclique d’un ârbre régulier avec le demi-plan hyperbolique supérieur. En se basant sur l’analyse sur les complexes à bandes Riemanniennes développée par les auteurs, on considère une famille de Laplaciens avec deux paramètres concernant la dérive verticale. On examine les fonctions harmoniques associées à ces Laplaciens.
