چکیده

Feynman's path integral is generalized to quantum mechanics on p-adic space and time. Such p-adic path integral is analytically evaluated for quadratic Lagrangians. Obtained result has the same form as that one in ordinary quantum mechanics. 1. It is well known that dynamical evolution of any one-dimensional quantum-mechanical system, described by a wave function Ψ(x, t), is given by Ψ(x ′′ , t ′′) = K(x ′′ , t ′′ ; x ′ , t ′)Ψ(x ′ , t ′)dx ′ , (1) where K(x ′′ , t ′′ ; x ′ , t ′) is the kernel of the corresponding unitary operator acting as follows: Ψ(t ′′) = U(t ′′ , t ′)Ψ(t ′). (2) K(x ′′ , t ′′ ; x ′ , t ′) is also called Green's function, or the quantum-mechanical prop-agator, and the probability amplitude to go a particle from a point (x ′ , t ′) to a point (x ′′ , t ′′). One can easily deduce the following three general properties:

0 p - ADIC PATH INTEGRALS FOR QUADRATIC ACTIONS

The Feynman path integral in p-adic quantum mechanics is considered. The probability amplitude K p (x ′′ , t ′′ ; x ′ , t ′) for one-dimensional systems with quadratic actions is calculated in an exact form, which is the same as that in ordinary quantum mechanics.

Real and p-Adic Aspects of Quantization of Tachyons

A simplified model of tachyon matter in classical and quantum mechanics is constructed. p-Adic path integral quantization of the model is considered. Recent results in using p-adic analysis, as well as perspectives of an adelic generalization, in the investigation of tachyons are briefly discussed. In particular, the perturbative approach in path integral quantization is proposed.

Adelic Quantum Mechanics: Nonarchimedean and Noncommutative Aspects

We present a short review of adelic quantummechanics pointing out its non-Archimedean and noncommutative aspects. In particular, p-adic path integral and adelic quantum cosmology are considered. Some similarities between p-adic analysis and q-analysis are noted. The p-adic Moyal product is introduced.

Adelic strings and noncommutativity

We consider adelic approach to strings and spatial noncommutativity. Path integral method to string amplitudes is emphasized. Uncertainties in spatial measurements in quantum gravity are related to noncommutativity between coordinates. p-Adic and adelic Moyal products are introduced. In particular, p-adic and adelic counterparts of some real noncommutative scalar solitons are constructed.

Higher Order Degenerate Hermite-Bernoulli Polynomials Arising from $p$-Adic Integrals on $mathbb{Z}_p$

Our principal interest in this paper is to study higher order degenerate Hermite-Bernoulli polynomials arising from multivariate $p$-adic invariant integrals on $mathbb{Z}_p$. We give interesting identities and properties of these polynomials that are derived using the generating functions and $p$-adic integral equations. Several familiar and new results are shown to follow as special cases. So...
