In our book [3], Laurie Snell and I tell how a method from the classical theory of electricity called Rayleigh’s short-cut method can be used to determine whether or not a person walking around at random on the vertices of a given infinite graph is certain to return to the starting point. In this paper, I will present an application of Rayleigh’s method to the classical type problem for Riemann...
