p-Adic Haar Multiresolution Analysis and Pseudo-Differential Operators

The notion of p-adic multiresolution analysis (MRA) is introduced. We discuss a “natural” refinement equation whose solution (a refinable function) is the characteristic function of the unit disc. This equation reflects the fact that the characteristic function of the unit disc is a sum of p characteristic functions of mutually disjoint discs of radius p ⁻¹. This refinement equation generates a MRA. The case p=2 is studied in detail. Our MRA is a 2-adic analog of the real Haar MRA. But in contrast to the real setting, the refinable function generating our Haar MRA is 1-periodic, which never holds for real refinable functions. This fact implies that there exist infinity many different 2-adic orthonormal wavelet bases in ℒ²(ℚ₂) generated by the same Haar MRA. All of these new bases are described. We also constructed infinity many different multidimensional 2-adic Haar orthonormal wavelet bases for ℒ²(ℚ₂ ⁿ ) by means of the tensor product of one-dimensional MRAs. We also study connections between wavelet analysis and spectral analysis of pseudo-differential operators. A criterion for multidimensional p-adic wavelets to be eigenfunctions for a pseudo-differential operator (in the Lizorkin space) is derived. We proved also that these wavelets are eigenfunctions of the Taibleson multidimensional fractional operator. These facts create the necessary prerequisites for intensive using our wavelet bases in applications. Our results related to the pseudo-differential operators develop the investigations started in Albeverio et al. (J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 12(4):393–425, 2006).      

-adic refinable functions and MRA-based wavelets

The main goal of this paper is the development of the MRA theory in . We described a wide class of p-adic refinement equations generating p-adic multiresolution analyses. A method for the construction of p-adic orthogonal wavelet bases within the framework of the MRA theory is suggested. A realization of this method is illustrated by an example which gives a new 3-adic wavelet basis. Another realization leads to the p-adic Haar bases which were known before.     

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.     

Basic properties of wavelets

A wavelet multiplier is a function whose product with the Fourier transform of a wavelet is the Fourier transform of a wavelet. We characterize the wavelet multipliers, as well as the scaling function multipliers and low pass filter multipliers. We then prove that if the set of all wavelet multipliers acts on the set of all MRA wavelets, the orbits are the sets of all MRA wavelets whose Fourier transforms have equal absolute values, and these are also equal to the sets, of all MRA wavelets with the corresponding scaling functions having the same absolute values of their Fourier transforms. As an application of these techniques, we prove that the set of MRA wavelets is arcwise connected in L²(R). Dedicated to Eugene Fabes The Wutam Consortium     

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.     

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 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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Quincunx multiresolution analysis for <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>(ℚ<Stack><Subscript>2</Subscript><Superscript>2</Superscript></Stack>)

With an eye on applications in quantum mechanics and other areas of science, much work has been done to generalize traditional analytic methods to p-adic systems. In 2002 the first paper on p-adic wavelets was published. Since then p-adic wavelet sets, multiresolution analyses, and wavelet frames have all been introduced. However, so far all constructions have involved dilations by p. This paper presents the first construction of a p-adic wavelet system with a more general matrix dilation, laying the foundation for further work in this direction.     

Automata finiteness criterion in terms of van der Put series of automata functions

In the paper we develop the p-adic theory of discrete automata. Every automaton \mathfrakA\mathfrak{A} (transducer) whose input/output alphabets consist of p symbols can be associated to a continuous (in fact, 1-Lipschitz) map from p-adic integers to p-adic integers, the automaton function f_\mathfrakA f_\mathfrak{A} . The p-adic theory (in particular, the p-adic ergodic theory) turned out to be very efficient in a study of properties of automata expressed via properties of automata functions. In the paper we prove a criterion for finiteness of the number of states of automaton in terms of van der Put series of the automaton function. The criterion displays connections between p-adic analysis and the theory of automata sequences.     

Critical p-adic L-functions

We attach p-adic L-functions to critical modular forms and study them. We prove that those L-functions fit in a two-variables p-adic L-function defined locally everywhere on the eigencurve.     

Embedding lattices in L^{2}([0,1]\mathbb{Z})

We show how to construct the group using any sequence of Hadamard matrices. This construction is nicely compatible with the classical Haar and Rademacher functions. We then show that every n-dimensional Euclidean lattice is isometrically isomorphic to a n-slice of . Finally we prove a similar embedding theorem for integral and p-rational lattices into the-module of all continuous integer-valued functions on the group of p-adic integers.

Nice equations for nice groups

There are various natural local zeta functions associated with groups and rings for each primep. We consider the question of how these functions behave as we vary the primep and the groups (or rings) range over a specific class of groups (or rings), e.g. finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups of a fixed Hirsch length orp-adic analytic groups of a fixed dimension. Using a result of Macintyre’s on the uniformity of parameterizedp-adic integrals, together with various natural parameter spaces we define for these classes of groups, we prove a strong finiteness theorem on the possible poles of these local zeta functions.     

p-adic Arakelov theory

We introduce the p-adic analogue of Arakelov intersection theory on arithmetic surfaces. The intersection pairing in an extension of the p-adic height pairing for divisors of degree 0 in the form described by Coleman and Gross. It also uses Coleman integration and is related to work of Colmez on p-adic Green functions. We introduce the p-adic version of a metrized line bundle and define the metric on the determinant of its cohomology in the style of Faltings. We also prove analogues of the Adjunction formula and the Riemann-Roch formula.     

On the p-adic Navier–Stokes equation

ABSTRACT

We prove the local solvability of the p-adic analog of the Navier–Stokes equation. This equation describes, within the p-adic model of porous medium, the flow of a fluid in capillaries.     

A p-adic analogue of Siegel's theorem on sums of squares

Siegel proved that every totally positive element of a number field K is the sum of four squares, so in particular the Pythagoras number is uniformly bounded across number fields. The p-adic Kochen operator provides a p-adic analogue of squaring, and a certain localisation of the ring generated by this operator consists of precisely the totally p-integral elements of K. We use this to formulate and prove a p-adic analogue of Siegel's theorem, by introducing the p-Pythagoras number of a general field, and showing that this number is uniformly bounded across number fields. We also generally study fields with finite p-Pythagoras number and show that the growth of the p-Pythagoras number in finite extensions is bounded.     

Recurrence and Transience Criteria for Symmetric Hunt Processes

In this paper, we will discuss recurrence, transience and other potential theoretic aspects based on symmetric regular Dirichlet space. We will first deal with Dirichlet space with the strong local property and give a recurrence criterion in terms of exhaustion function. This criterion shows that recurrence automatically provides us with an exhaustion function which is usable to verify a Liouville property on subharmonic functions. Secondly, a recurrence criterion and a transience criterion for a Nonlocal Dirichlet space will be presented. Those criteria can be applied to Albeverio–Karwowski"s random walks on p-adic number field. Lastly, we will prove the assertions which cover other potential theoretic aspect of p-adic number field such as Liouville property on harmonic functions.
