Abstract: | 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.
