Abstract: This paper consists in the study of a stochastic differential equation on a metric graph, called an interface SDE (hboxISDE). To each edge of the graph is associated an independent white noise, which drives (hboxISDE) on this edge. This produces an interface at each vertex of the graph. We first do our study on star graphs with Nge2 rays. The case N=2 corresponds to the perturbed Tanaka's equation recently studied by Prokaj cite{MR18} and Le Jan-Raimond cite{MR000} among others. It is proved that (hboxISDE) has a unique in law solution, which is a Walsh's Brownian motion. This solution is strong if and only if N=2. Solution flows are also considered. There is a (unique in law) coalescing stochastic flow of mappings p solving (hboxISDE). For N=2, it is the only solution flow. For Nge3, p is not a strong solution and by filtering p with respect to the family of white noises, we obtain a (Wiener) stochastic flow of kernels solution of (hboxISDE). There are no other Wiener solutions. Our previous results cite{MR501011} in hand, these results are extended to more general metric graphs. The proofs involve the study of (X,Y) a Brownian motion in a two dimensional quadrant obliquely reflected at the boundary, with time dependent angle of reflection. We prove in particular that, when (X0,Y0)=(1,0) and if S is the first time X hits 0, then YS2 is a beta random variable of the second kind. We also calculate EE[Lsigma0], where L is the local time accumulated at the boundary, and sigma0 is the first time (X,Y) hits (0,0).
