Robert Burton coauthored the transfer-impedance analysis of uniform spanning trees with Robin Pemantle. Their original paper verifies this byline.[ref]
The method computes probabilities for small collections of edges from determinants, even when the graph is large. The relevant matrix entries depend on global electrical information, so a small determinant does not mean the problem is entirely local. This distinction is essential in extending the calculations to infinite periodic graphs.[ref]
