Let a and q be two units of Zp, q not a root of unity, and let Vq be the closure of the set {aqn | n = 0, 1, 2, ..}. K is a non-archimedean valued field, K contains Qp, and K is complete for the valuation |.|, which extends the p-adic valuation. C(Vq → K) is the Banach space of continuous functions from Vq to K, equipped with the supremum norm. Let E and Dq be the operators on C(Vq → K) defined...

In this article, we consider the estimation of exponential sums along the points of the reduction mod pm of a p-adic analytic submanifold of Zp . More precisely, we extend Igusa’s stationary phase method to this type of exponential sums. We also study the number of solutions of a polynomial congruence along the points of the reduction mod pm of a p-adic analytic submanifold of Zp . In addition,...

This paper is the first one in the series devoted to the calculation of particle mass spectrum in Topological GeometroDynamics. In this paper p-adic conformal field theory limit of TGD is formulated. TGD Universe is critical at quantum level and the idea is to realize criticality via conformal invariance. Ordinary real numbers do not allow this but if one assumes that in long length scales p-ad...
