Abstract: The main goal of this paper is to build a measurable analogue to the theory of weighted networks on infinite graphs. Our basic setting is an infinite $sigma$-finite measure space $(V,mathcalB,mu)$ and a symmetric measure $ho$ on $(VimesV,mathcalBimesmathcalB)$ supported by a measurable symmetric subset $EsubsetVimesV$. This applies to such diverse areas as optimization, graphons (limits of finite graphs), symbolic dynamics, measurable equivalence relations, to determinantal processes, to jump-processes; and it extends earlier studies of infinite graphs $G=(V,E)$ which are endowed with a symmetric weight function $c_{xy}$ defined on the set of edges $E$. As in the theory of weighted networks, we consider the Hilbert spaces $L^2(mu),L^2(cmu)$ and define two other Hilbert spaces, the dissipation space $Diss$ and finite energy space $mathcal{H}_E$. Our main results include a number of explicit spectral theoretic and potential theoretic theorems that apply to two realizations of Laplace operators, and the associated jump-diffusion semigroups, one in $L^2(mu)$, and, the second, its counterpart in $mathcal{H}_E$. We show in particular that it is the second setting (the energy-Hilbert space and the dissipation Hilbert space) which is needed in a detailed study of transient Markov processes.
