Mumford dendrograms and discrete p-adic symmetries

In this article, we present an effective encoding of dendrograms by embedding them into the Bruhat-Tits trees associated to p-adic number fields. As an application, we show how strings over a finite alphabet can be encoded in cyclotomic extensions of ℚ _p and discuss p-adic DNA encoding. The application leads to fast p-adic agglomerative hierarchic algorithms similar to the ones recently used e.g. by A. Khrennikov and others. From the viewpoint of p-adic geometry, to encode a dendrogram X in a p-adic field K means to fix a set S of K-rational punctures on the p-adic projective line ℙ₁. To ℙ₁ \ S is associated in a natural way a subtree inside the Bruhat-Tits tree which recovers X, a method first used by F. Kato in 1999 in the classification of discrete subgroups of PGL₂(K). Next, we show how the p-adic moduli space of ℙ¹ with n punctures can be applied to the study of time series of dendrograms and those symmetries arising from hyperbolic actions on ℙ¹. In this way, we can associate to certain classes of dynamical systems a Mumford curve, i.e. a p-adic algebraic curve with totally degenerate reduction modulo p. Finally, we indicate some of our results in the study of general discrete actions on ℙ¹, and their relation to p-adic Hurwitz spaces. The text was submitted by the author in English.     

An infinite family of p-adic non-Haar wavelet bases and pseudo-differential operators

In this paper an infinite family of new compactly supported non-Haar p-adic wavelet bases in is constructed. We also study the connections between wavelet analysis and spectral analysis of p-adic pseudo-differential operators. A criterion for a multidimensional p-adic wavelet to be an eigenfunction for a pseudo-differential operator is derived. We prove that these wavelets are eigenfunctions of the fractional operator. Since many p-adic models use pseudo-differential operators (fractional operator), these results can be intensively used in these models. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

A p-adic model of DNA sequence and genetic code

Using basic properties of p-adic numbers, we consider a simple new approach to describe main aspects of DNA sequence and the genetic code. In our investigation central role plays an ultrametric p-adic information space whose basic elements are nucleotides, codons and genes. We show that a 5-adicmodel is appropriate for DNA sequence. This 5-adicmodel, combined with 2-adic distance, is also suitable for the genetic code and for amore advanced employment in genomics. We find that genetic code degeneracy is related to the p-adic distance between codons. The text was submitted by the authors in English. This paper is a slight modification of an article available in the electronic archive form arXiv:qbio. GN/0607018v1 (July 2006). Since that time some other papers on this subject have appeared, e.g. [1], [2].     

Irrationality of some p-adic L-values

We give a proof of the irrationality of p-adic zeta-values ξp（κ） for p = 2, 3 and κ = 2,3.Such results were recently obtained by Calegari as an application of overconvergent p-adic modular forms. In this paper we present an approach using classical continued fractions discovered by Stieltjes. In addition we show the irrationality of some other p-adic L-series values, and values of the p-adic Hurwitz zeta-function.     

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.     

Multidimensional basis of p-adic wavelets and representation theory

A multidimensional basis of p-adic wavelets is constructed. The relation of the constructed basis to a system of coherent states i.e., orbit of action) for some p-adic group of linear transformations is discussed. We show that the set of products of the vectors from the constructed basis and p-roots of unity is the orbit of the corresponding p-adic group of linear transformations.

Self-similar p-adic fractal strings and their complex dimensions

We develop a geometric theory of self-similar p-adic fractal strings and their complex dimensions. We obtain a closed-form formula for the geometric zeta functions and show that these zeta functions are rational functions in an appropriate variable. We also prove that every self-similar p-adic fractal string is lattice. Finally, we define the notion of a nonarchimedean self-similar set and discuss its relationship with that of a self-similar p-adic fractal string. We illustrate the general theory by two simple examples, the nonarchimedean Cantor and Fibonacci strings. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

On the existence of generalized gibbs measures for the one-dimensional <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic countable state Potts model

We consider the one-dimensional countable state p-adic Potts model. A construction of generalized p-adic Gibbs measures depending on weights λ is given, and an investigation of such measures is reduced to the examination of a p-adic dynamical system. This dynamical system has a form of series of rational functions. Studying such a dynamical system, under some condition concerning weights, we prove the existence of generalized p-adic Gibbs measures. Note that the condition found does not depend on the values of the prime p, and therefore an analogous fact is not true when the number of states is finite. It is also shown that under the condition there may occur a phase transition.     

Frames of p-adic wavelets and orbits of the affine group

The general construction of frames of p-adic wavelets is described. We consider the orbit of a generic mean zero locally constant function with compact support (mean zero test function) with respect to the action of the p-adic affine group and show that this orbit is a uniform tight frame. We discuss the relations of this result with the multiresolution wavelet analysis. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic quasi Gibbs measures for <Emphasis Type="Italic">q</Emphasis> + 1-state Potts model on the Cayley tree

In the present paper we introduce a new kind of p-adic measures, associated with q + 1-state Potts model, called p-adic quasi Gibbs measure, which is totally different from the p-adic Gibbs measure. We establish the existence of p-adic quasi Gibbs measures for the model on a Cayley tree. If q is divisible by p, then we prove the occurrence of a strong phase transition. If q and p are relatively prime, then there is a quasi phase transition. These results are totally different from the results of [F. M. Mukhamedov and U. A. Rozikov, Indag. Math. N. S. 15, 85–100 (2005)], since when q is divisible by p, which means that q + 1 is not divided by p, so according to a main result of the mentioned paper, there is a unique and bounded p-adic Gibbs measure (different from p-adic quasi Gibbs measure)     

On the number of equivalence classes of attracting dynamical systems

We study discrete dynamical systems of the kind h(x) = x + g(x), where g(x) is amonic irreducible polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers of a p-adic field K. The dynamical systems of this kind, having attracting fixed points, can in a natural way be divided into equivalence classes, and we investigate whether something can be said about the number of those equivalence classes, for a certain degree of the polynomial g(x).

On growth,recurrence and the Choquet-Deny Theorem for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic Lie groups

We first study the growth properties of p-adic Lie groups and its connection with p-adic Lie groups of type R and prove that a non-type R p-adic Lie group has compact neighbourhoods of identity having exponential growth. This is applied to prove the growth dichotomy for a large class of p-adic Lie groups which includes p-adic algebraic groups. We next study p-adic Lie groups that admit recurrent random walks and prove the natural growth conjecture connecting growth and the existence of recurrent random walks, precisely we show that a p-adic Lie group admits a recurrent random walk if and only if it has polynomial growth of degree at most two. We prove this conjecture for some other classes of groups also. We also prove the Choquet-Deny Theorem for compactly generated p-adic Lie groups of polynomial growth and also show that polynomial growth is necessary and sufficient for the validity of the Choquet-Deny for all spread-out probabilities on Zariski-connected p-adic algebraic groups. Counter example is also given to show that certain assumptions made in the main results can not be relaxed.     

S-adic L-Functions Attached to the Symmetric Square of a Newform

In order to apply the ideas of Iwasawa theory to the symmetricsquare of a newform, we need to be able to define non-archimedeananalogues of its complex L-series. The interpolated p-adic L-functionis closely connected via a "Main Conjecture" with certain Selmergroups over the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of Q. In the p-ordinarycase these functions are well understood. In this article we extend the interpolation to an arbitraryset S of good primes (not necessarily satisfying ordinarityconditions). The corresponding S-adic functions can be characterisedin terms of certain admissibility criteria. We also allow interpolationat particular primes dividing the level of the newform. One interesting application is to the symmetric square of amodular elliptic curve E defined over Q. Our constructions yieldp-adic L-functions at all primes of stable or semi-stable reduction.If p is ordinary or multiplicative the corresponding analyticfunction is bounded; if p is supersingular our function behaveslike log²(1 + T). 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 11F67,11F66, 11F33, 11F30     

On periodic Gibbs measures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic Potts model on a Cayley tree

In the present paper, we study the existence of periodic p-adic quasi Gibbs measures of p-adic Potts model over the Cayley tree of order two. We first prove that the renormalized dynamical system associated with the model is conjugate to the symbolic shift. As a consequence of this result we obtain the existence of countably many periodic p-adic Gibbs measures for the model.     

From image processing to topological modelling with <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numbers

Encoding the hierarchical structure of images by p-adic numbers allows for image processing and computer vision methods motivated from arithmetic physics. The p-adic Polyakov action leads to the p-adic diffusion equation in low level vision. Hierarchical segmentation provides another way of p-adic encoding. Then a topology on that finite set of p-adic numbers yields a hierarchy of topological models underlying the image. In the case of chain complexes, the chain maps yield conditions for the existence of a hierarchy, and these can be expressed in terms of p-adic integrals. Such a chain complex hierarchy is a special case of a persistence complex from computational topology, where it is used for computing persistence barcodes for shapes. The approach is motivated by the observation that using p-adic numbers often leads to more efficient algorithms than their real or complex counterparts.     

Phase Transition of Mixed Type <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic λ-Ising Model on Cayley Tree

In the present paper, we consider an interaction of the nearest-neighbors and next nearest-neighbors for the mixed type p-adic λ-Ising model with spin values {?1, +1} on the Cayley tree of order two.We obtained the uniqueness and existence of the p-adic quasi Gibbs measures for the model. Thereafter, as a main result, we proved the occurrence of phase transition for the p-adic λ-Ising model on the Cayley tree of order two. To establish the results, we employed some properties of p-adic numbers. Therefore, our results are not valid in the real case.     

Symmetric stochastic integrals with respect to p-adic Brownian motion†

In this paper, we consider complex-valued Brownian motion with p-adic time index and the associated abstract Wiener space. We define symmetric stochastic integrals with respect to p-adic Brownian motion. We also provide a sufficient condition for the existence of symmetric stochastic integrals and present a relation to the adjoint of the Malliavin derivatives.     

Weakly infinitely divisible measures on some locally compact Abelian groups

On the torus group, on the group of p-adic integers, and on the p-adic solenoid, we give a construction of an arbitrary weakly infinitely divisible probability measure using a random element with values in a product of (possibly infinitely many) subgroups of ℝ. As a special case of our results, we have a new construction of the Haar measure on the p-adic solenoid.
