Abstract
It is shown every nonnegative solution of the heat equation in a bounded cylindrical domain has an integral representation in terms of a trace triple consisting of a bottom trace, a corner trace and a lateral trace on its parabolic boundary. Conversely this trace triple uniquely determines the solution.
