The topic of this note is the Riesz decomposition of excessive functions for a “nice” strong Markov process X. I.e. an excessive function is decomposed into a sum of a potential of a measure and a “harmonic” function. Originally such decompositions were studied by G.A. Hunt [8]. In [1] a Riesz decomposition is given assuming that the state space E is locally compact with a countable base and X is a transient standard process in strong duality with another standard process having a strong Feller resolvent. Recently R.K. Getoor and J. Glover extended the theory to the case of transient Borei right processes in weak duality [6].
