Abstract

A Riemann-Roch theorem on graph was initiated by M.Baker and S.Norine. In their article, a Riemann-Roch theorem on a finite graph with uniform unit vertex-weight and uniform unit edge-weight was established and a feasibility of Riemann-Roch theorem on infinite graph was suggested. In this article, we take an edge-weighted infinite graph and focus on the importance of the spectral gaps of the Laplace operators defined on its finite subgraphs naturally given by \(\mathbb Q\)-valued positive weights on the edges. We build a potential theoretic scheme for a proof of a Riemann-Roch theorem on the edge-weighted infinite graphs.
