Model of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic Random Walk in a Potential

We consider the p-adic random walk model in a potential which can be viewed as a generalization of p-adic random walk models used for describing protein conformational dynamics. This model is based on the Kolmogorov-Feller equations for the distribution function defined on the field of p-adic numbers in which the transition rate depends on ultrametric distance between the transition points as well as on function of potential violating the spatial homogeneity of a random process. This equation which will be called the equation of p-adic random walk in a potential, is equivalent to the equation of p-adic random walk with modified measure and reaction source. With a special choice of a power-law potential the last equation is shown to have an exact analytic solution. We find the analytic solution of the Cauchy problem for such equation with an initial condition, whose support lies in the ring of integer p-adic numbers.We also examine the asymptotic behaviour of the distribution function for large times. It is shown that in the limit t→∞ the distribution function tends to the equilibrium solution according to the law, which is bounded from above and below by power laws with the same exponent. Our principal conclusion is that the introduction of a potential in the model of p-adic random walk conserves the power-law behaviour of relaxation curves for large times.     

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.     

Simultaneous approximation problems of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numbers and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic knapsack cryptosystems - Alice in <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numberland

In this paper we construct the multi-dimensional p-adic approximation lattices by using simultaneous approximation problems (SAP) of p-adic numbers and we estimate the l _∞ norm of the p-adic SAP solutions theoretically by applying Dirichlet’s principle and numerically by using the LLL algorithm. By using the SAP solutions as private keys, the security of which depends on NP-hardness of SAP or the shortest vector problems (SVP) of p-adic lattices, we propose a p-adic knapsack cryptosystem with commitment schemes, in which the sender Alice prepares ciphertexts and the verification keys in her p-adic numberland.     

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.     

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.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis>-adic continued fractions

We study Schneider’s p-adic continued fraction algorithms. For p=2, we give a combinatorial characterization of rational numbers that have terminating expansions. For arbitrary p, we give data showing that rationals with terminating expansions are relatively rare. Finally, we prove an analogue of Khinchin’s theorem.     

Classification of three-dimensional solvable <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic Leibniz algebras

The present paper is devoted to the study of low dimensional Leibniz algebras over the field of p-adic numbers. The classification up to isomorphism of three-dimensional Lie algebras over the integer p-adic numbers is already known [8]. Here, we extend this classification to solvable Lie and non-Lie Leibniz algebras over the field of p-adic numbers.     

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 Shalika models and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

We use modular symbols to construct p-adic L-functions for cohomological cuspidal automorphic representations on GL(2n), which admit a Shalika model. Our construction differs from former ones in that it systematically makes use of the representation theory of p-adic groups.     

On the functional equation <Emphasis Type="Italic">Af</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> + <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bg</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript> = 1 on the field of complex <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic numbers

For a fixed prime p, let C _p denote the complex p-adic numbers. For polynomials A, B ε C p [x] we consider decompositions A (x) f ² (x) + B (x) g ² (x) = 1 of entire functions f, g on C p and try to improve an impossibility result due to A. Boutabaa concerning transcendental f, g. We also provide a new proof of a p-adic diophantic statement due to D. N. Clark, which is an important ingredient of Boutabaa’s method.     

Simultaneous diophantine approximation in non-degenerate <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic manifolds

An S-arithmetic Khintchine-type theorem for products of non-degenerate analytic p-adic manifolds is proved for the convergence case. In the p-adic case the divergence part is also obtained.     

Upper triangular operators and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-functions

For a newform f for Γ₀(N) of even weight k supersingular at a prime p ≥ 5, by using infinite dimensional p-adic analysis, we prove that the p-adic L-function L _p (f,α; χ) has finite order of vanishing at any character of the form [(c)\tilde] _s ( x ) = x^s\tilde \chi _s \left( x \right) = x^s. In particular, under the natural embedding of ℤ _p in the group of ℂ* _p -valued continuous characters of ℤ* _p , the order of vanishing at any point is finite.     

Blow-up phenomena for <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic semilinear heat equations

The problem of existence of solutions to p-adic semilinear heat equations with particular nonlinear terms has already been studied in the literature but the occurrence of blow-up phenomena has not been considered yet. We initiate the study of finite time blow-up for solutions of this kind of p-adic semilinear equations, proving that this phenomenon always arises under appropriate assumptions in the case when the exponent of nonlinearity times the dimension is strictly less than the order of the operator.     

Unbounded transforms and approximation of functions over <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic fields

We consider functions of a p-adic variable with values in different spaces. In each case we consider an unbounded integral operator and a corresponding issue. More precisely, we study the Riesz-Volkenborn integral representation of functions with values in a non-Archimedean field, the Vladimirov operator and corresponding vectors of exponential type in spaces of complex-valued functions, and the Fourier transform and its (dis)continuity in spaces of Banach-valued functions.     

A <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic RANSAC algorithm for stereo vision using Hensel lifting

A p-adic variation of the Ran(dom) Sa(mple) C(onsensus) method for solving the relative pose problem in stereo vision is developed. From two 2-adically encoded images a random sample of five pairs of corresponding points is taken, and the equations for the essential matrix are solved by lifting solutions modulo 2 to the 2-adic integers. A recently devised p-adic hierarchical classification algorithm imitiating the known LBG quantization method classifies the solutions for all the samples after having determined the number of clusters using the known intra-inter validity of clusterings. In the successful case, a cluster ranking will determine the cluster containing a 2-adic approximation to the “true” solution of the problem.     

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 Second Parameter of an (<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>)-Isometry

A bounded linear operator T on a Banach space X is called an (m, p)-isometry if it satisfies the equation \({\sum_{k=0}^{m}(-1)^{k} {m \choose k}\|T^{k}x\|^{p}=0}\) , for all \({x \in X}\) . In this paper we study the structure which underlies the second parameter of (m, p)-isometric operators. We concentrate on determining when an (m, p)-isometry is a (μ, q)-isometry for some pair (μ, q). We also extend the definition of (m, p)-isometry, to include p = ∞ and study basic properties of these (m, ∞)-isometries.     

Multidimensional Hausdorff operator on <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic field

p-Adic analogs of Hausdorff operator are introduced. Sufficient conditions of its boundedness in p-adic Hardy and BMO spaces are given. The Titchmarsh-type theorem about commuting relations between Hausdorff operator, its conjugate and p-adic Fourier transform is established.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic renormalization group solutions and the euclidean renormalization group conjectures

We discuss algebraic similarity of the Wilson’s renormalization groups in the Euclidean and p-adic spaces. Automodel Hamiltonians have identical form in both cases in the framework of perturbation theory. Fermionic p-adic model has exact renormalization group solution which generates a list of non-trivial conjectures for the Euclidean case.
