Abstract
We provide details for Gromov's proof of Stallings' theorem on groups with infinitely many ends using harmonic functions. The main technical result of the paper is a compactness theorem for a certain family of harmonic functions.
Keywords: Harmonic functions; ends of groups

This paper was motivated by numerous discussions with Mohan Ramachandran, to whom I am grateful for many valuable references and suggestions as well as the proof of Theorem 9.1. I am grateful to P. Li and W. Woess for useful remarks and references.
