Let G be a symmetric and continuous function-kernels on a locally compact Hausdorff space X and δ be the point at infinity. In this paper, first we define the several notions of thinness of a closed set at infinity δ and investigate the mutual relations among them. For a non-negative G-superharmonic function u, we denote by R^<X, δ>_G(u) the G-reduced function of u to δ. A kernel G satisfying the domination principle is said to be regular when we have R^<X, δ>_G(Gμ)(x)=0 G-nearly everywhere on X for the potential G_μ of any positive mesure μ with compact support. The regularity of kernels plays an important role in the theory of Hunt kernels. The purpose of this paper is to characterize the regularity of function-kernels by the behavior of potentials in a neighborhood of infinity δ. We shall prove that a continuous function-kernel G is regular if and only if, for every mesure p with finite G-energy, the potential G_μ is equal to 0 G-quasi-everywhere at infinity δ under the assumption that G satisfies the complete maximum principle.
