Representations of the Weyl group in spaces of square integrable functions with respect top-adic valued Gaussian distributions

Abstract

We construct a representation of the Weyl group in the p-adic Hilbert space of functions which are square integrable with respect to a p-adic valued Gaussian distribution. The operators corresponding to position and momentum are determined by groups of unitary operators with parameters restricted to some balls in the field of p-adic numbers. A surprising fact is that the radii of these balls are connected by `an uncertainty relation' which can be considered as a p-adic analogue of the Heisenberg uncertainty relations. The p-adic Hilbert space representation of the Weyl group is the basis for a calculus of pseudo-differential operators and for an operator quantization over p-adic numbers.

p-ADIC HILBERT SPACE REPRESENTATION OF QUANTUM SYSTEMS WITH AN INFINITE NUMBER OF DEGREES OF FREEDOM

Sergio A Albeverio, Andrew Khrennikov

Gaussian measures on infinite-dimensional p-adic spaces are introduced and the corresponding L2-spaces of p-adic valued square integrable functions are constructed. Representations of the infinite-dimensional Weyl group are realized in p-adic L2-spaces. p-adic Hilbert space representations of quantum Hamiltonians for systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom are constructed. Many Hamiltonians with potentials which are too singular to exist as functions over reals are realized as bounded symmetric operators in L2-spaces with respect to a p-adic Gaussian measure.

p-Adic valued quantization

Sergio A Albeverio, Roberto Cianci, Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

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 ℚ 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 ℚ p . A physical interpretation of p-adic quantities is provided through approximation by rational numbers.

Representations of commutations relations for p-adic systems of infinitely many degrees of freedom

Evgenii Igorevich Zelenov

The standard C*-formalism of representations of commutations relations for systems of infinitely many degrees of freedom over a real numbers field is extended to the case of a p-adic numbers field. It is proved that any positive function on the Weyl algebra over a p-adic symplectic space is regular and restriction of the generating function of a state of the Weyl algebra on any nongenerate finite-dimensional subspace of p-adic symplectic space is continuous. Some nontrivial class of nonequivalent representations of commutations relations is described and analogies of Fock representations and representations with number operators are constructed. The criteria for the existence of free-field unitary quantization of symplectic transformations is given.

On Geometry of p-Adic Coherent States and Mutually Unbiased Bases

Evgenii Igorevich Zelenov

The paper considers coherent states for the representation of Weyl commutation relations over a field of $p$-adic numbers. A geometric object, a lattice in vector space over a field of p-adic numbers, corresponds to the family of coherent states. It is proved that the bases of coherent states corresponding to different lattices are mutually unbiased, and the operators defining the quantization of symplectic dynamics are Hadamard operators.

Quantum mechanics on p-adic fields

Philippe Ruelle, E. Thiran, D. Verstegen +1 more

A formulation of quantum mechanics on p-adic number fields is presented. Quantum amplitudes are taken as complex functions of p-adic variables and it is shown how the Weyl approach to quantum mechanics can be generalized to the p-adic case. The p-adic analogs of simple one-dimensional systems (free particle, compact and noncompact oscillators) are defined by a ‘‘group of motion,’’ which is an Abelian subgroup of SL (2,Qp). In each case the evolution operator is a unitary representation of the appropriate group. Its spectrum is given by characters and its eigenstates are calculated.

Representation of semigroups in rigged Hilbert spaces: Subsemigroups of the Weyl–Heisenberg group

Sujeewa Wickramasekara, Arno Böhm

In this paper we study how differentiable representations of certain subsemigroups of the Weyl–Heisenberg group may be obtained in suitably constructed rigged Hilbert spaces. These semigroup representations are induced from a continuous unitary representation of the Weyl–Heisenberg group in a Hilbert space. Aspects of the rigged Hilbert space formulation of time asymmetric quantum mechanics are also investigated within the context of the results developed here.
