p-Adic valued quantization

This review covers an important domain of p-adic mathematical physics — quantum mechanics with p-adic valued wave functions. We start with basic mathematical constructions of this quantum model: Hilbert spaces over quadratic extensions of the field of p-adic numbers ? _p , operators — symmetric, unitary, isometric, one-parameter groups of unitary isometric operators, the p-adic version of Schrödinger’s quantization, representation of canonical commutation relations in Heisenberg andWeyl forms, spectral properties of the operator of p-adic coordinate.We also present postulates of p-adic valued quantization. Here observables as well as probabilities take values in ? _p . A physical interpretation of p-adic quantities is provided through approximation by rational numbers.     

p-Adic wavelets and their applications

The theory of p-adic wavelets is presented. One-dimensional and multidimensional wavelet bases and their relation to the spectral theory of pseudodifferential operators are discussed. For the first time, bases of compactly supported eigenvectors for p-adic pseudodifferential operators were considered by V.S. Vladimirov. In contrast to real wavelets, p-adic wavelets are related to the group representation theory; namely, the frames of p-adic wavelets are the orbits of p-adic transformation groups (systems of coherent states). A p-adic multiresolution analysis is considered and is shown to be a particular case of the construction of a p-adic wavelet frame as an orbit of the action of the affine group.     

Milnor K-Groups and Zero-Cycles on Products of Curves over p-Adic Fields

We investigate the Chow groups of zero cycles of products of curves over a p-adic field by means of the Milnor K-groups of their Jacobians as introduced by Somekawa. We prove some finiteness results for CH ₀(X)/m for X a product of curves over a p-adic field.     

Rigged Hilbert Space of Free Coherent States and p-Adic Numbers

We investigate the rigged Hilbert space of free coherent states. We prove that this rigged Hilbert space is isomorphic to the space of generalized functions over a p-adic disk. We discuss the relation of the described isomorphism of rigged Hilbert spaces and noncommutative geometry and show that the considered example realizes the isomorphism between the noncommutative line and the p-adic disk.     

p-Adic orthogonal wavelet bases

We describe all MRA-based p-adic compactly supported wavelet systems forming an orthogonal basis for L ²(ℚ _p ). The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Nonlinear Dynamics Equation in p-Adic String Theory

We investigate nonlinear pseudodifferential equations with infinitely many derivatives. These are equations of a new class, and they originally appeared in p-adic string theory. Their investigation is of interest in mathematical physics and its applications, in particular, in string theory and cosmology. We undertake a systematic mathematical investigation of the properties of these equations and prove the main uniqueness theorem for the solution in an algebra of generalized functions. We discuss boundary problems for bounded solutions and prove the existence theorem for spatially homogeneous solutions for odd p. For even p, we prove the absence of a continuous nonnegative solution interpolating between two vacuums and indicate the possible existence of discontinuous solutions. We also consider the multidimensional equation and discuss soliton and q-brane solutions.     

Stochastic Integrals and Stochastic Differential Equations over the Field of p-Adic Numbers

We construct, for various classes of p-adic-valued functions, stochastic integrals with respect to the Poisson random measure. This leads to the construction of Markov processes over the field of p-adic numbers by means of stochastic differential equations.     

p-Adic Multiresolution Analysis and Wavelet Frames

We study p-adic multiresolution analyses (MRAs). A complete characterization of test functions generating an MRA (scaling functions) is given. We prove that only 1-periodic test functions may be taken as orthogonal scaling functions and that all such scaling functions generate the Haar MRA. We also suggest a method for constructing sets of wavelet functions and prove that any set of wavelet functions generates a p-adic wavelet frame.     

p-Adic Analogue of the Wave Equation

In this paper, a p-adic analogue of the wave equation with Lipschitz source is considered. Since it is hard to arrive the solution of the problem, we propose a regularized method to solve the problem from a modified p-adic integral equation. Moreover, we give an iterative scheme for numerical computation of the regularlized solution.

     

p-Adic dynamical systems of Chebyshev polynomials

We study the behaviour of the iterates of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind in p-adic fields. In particular, we determine in the field of complex p-adic numbers for p > 2, the periodic points of the p-th Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind. These periodic points are attractive points. We describe their basin of attraction. The classification of finite field extensions of the field of p-adic numbers ? _p , enables one to locate precisely, for any integer ν ≥ 1, the ν-periodic points of T _p : they are simple and the nonzero ones lie in the unit circle of the unramified extension of ? _p , (p > 2) of degree ν. This generalizes a result, stated by M. Zuber in his PhD thesis, giving the fixed points of T _p in the field ? _p , (p > 2). As often happens, we consider separately the case p = 2. Also, if the integer n ≥ 2 is not divisible by p, then any fixed point w of T _n is indifferent in the field of p-adic complex numbers and we give for p ≥ 3, the p-adic Siegel disc around w.     

Pseudodifferential <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic vector fields and pseudodifferentiation of a composite <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic function

We discuss transformation of p-adic pseudodifferential operators (in the one-dimensional and multidimensional cases) with respect to p-adic maps which correspond to automorphisms of the tree of balls in the corresponding p-adic spaces. In the dimension one we find a rule of transformation for pseudodifferential operators. In particular we find the formula of pseudodifferentiation of a composite function with respect to the Vladimirov p-adic fractional operator. We describe the frame of wavelets for the group of parabolic automorphisms of the tree T (O _p ) of balls in O _p . In many dimensions we introduce the group of mod p-affine transformations, the family of pseudodifferential operators corresponding to pseudodifferentiation along vector fields on the tree T (O _p ) and obtain a rule of transformation of the introduced pseudodifferential operators with respect to mod p-affine transformations.     

On the Iwasawa Theory of p-Adic Lie Extensions

In this paper, the new techniques and results concerning the structure theory of modules over noncommutative Iwasawa algebras are applied to arithmetic: we study Iwasawa modules over p-adic Lie extensions k of number fields k 'up to pseudo-isomorphism'. In particular, a close relationship is revealed between the Selmer group of Abelian varieties, the Galois group of the maximal Abelian unramified p-extension of k as well as the Galois group of the maximal Abelian p-extension unramified outside S where S is a certain finite setof places of k. Moreover, we determine the Galois module structure of local units and other modules arising from Galois cohomology.     

Eisenstein Cohomology and the Construction of p-Adic Analytic L-Functions

Let be a cuspidal automorphic representation of GL₃( ), unramified at pand of cohomological type at infinity. We construct p-adic L-functions, which interpolate the critical values of L(,s) and which satisfy a logarithmic growth condition. We obtain these functions as p-adic Mellin transforms of certain distributions on _p ^* having values in some fixed number field and which are of moderate growth. In the p-ordinary case we obtain the bound |(U)| _p |_Haar(U)| _p for open subsets U _p ^*, where _Haardenotes the invariant distribution on _p ^*.     

p-Adic dynamics and angle doubling

We consider the squaring map over the p-adic numbers for an odd prime p, and study its symbolic dynamics on the unit circle in ? _p , the p-adic integers. When the map is restricted to the set of squares, we show an equivalence to angle doubling (mod 1) for rational angles. For primes p ≡ 3 (mod 4), this map may be represented as a unitary permutation matrix of the type used in quantum phase estimation.     

p-Adic physics, non-well-founded reality and unconventional computing

We consider perspectives of application of coinductive and corecursive methods of non-well-founded mathematics to modern physics, especially to adelic and p-adic quantum mechanics. We also survey perspectives of relationship between modern physics and unconventional computing.     

Multidimensional <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic wavelets for the deformed metric

The approach to p-adic wavelet theory from the point of view of representation theory is discussed. p-Adic wavelet frames can be constructed as orbits of some p-adic groups of transformations. These groups are automorphisms of the tree of balls in the p-adic space. In the present paper we consider deformations of the standard p-adic metric in many dimensions and construct some corresponding groups of transformations. We build several examples of p-adic wavelet bases. We show that the constructed wavelets are eigenvectors of some pseudodifferential operators.     

p-Adic model of quantum mechanics and quantum channels

A p-adic realization of the standard statistical model of quantum mechanics is constructed. Within this realization, a p-adic linear bosonic channel is defined, and its properties are analyzed. In particular, a criterion for the existence of a linear Gaussian bosonic channel is obtained, and its explicit construction is described. It is shown that the p-adic Gaussian bosonic channels possess an additivity property.     

One-Dimensional p-Adic Subanalytic Sets

In this paper we extend two theorems from [2] on p-adic subanalyticsets, where p is a fixed prime number, Q_p is the field of p-adicnumbers and Z_p is the ring of p-adic integers. One of thesetheorems [2, 3.32] says that each subanalytic subset of Z_p issemialgebraic. This is extended here as follows.
