P-adic numbers

P-adic quantum mechanics

p-adic quantum mechanics is a collection of related research efforts in quantum physics that replace real numbers with p-adic numbers. Historically, this research was inspired by the discovery that the Veneziano amplitude of the open bosonic string, which is calculated using an integral over the real numbers, can be generalized to the p-adic numbers. This observation initiated the study of p-adic string theory. Another approach considers particles in a p-adic potential well, with the goal of finding solutions with smoothly varying complex-valued wave functions. Alternatively, one can consider particles in p-adic potential wells and seek p-adic valued wave functions, in which case the problem of the probabilistic interpretation of the p-adic valued wave function arises. As there does not exist a suitable p-adic Schrödinger equation, path integrals are employed instead. Some one-dimensional systems have been studied by means of the path integral formulation, including the free particle, the particle in a constant field, and the harmonic oscillator. (Wikipedia).

p-adic numbers. Part 2: p-adic powers

This is the second part of a 3-part talk on p-adic numbers for advanced high school students. It is part of a series organized by the Berkeley mathematics circle. We define the p-adic integers for p a prime, and use this to construct the field of p-adic numbers. We show how do do various

Maxim Kontsevich - 1/4 Bridgeland Stability over Non-Archimedean Fields

Bridgeland stability structure/condition on a triangulated category is a vast generalization of the notion of an ample line bunlde (or polarization) in algebraic geometry. The origin of the notion lies in string theory, and is applicable to derived categories of coherent sheaves, quiver re
