Spectral theory of -adic unitary operator

arXiv:2310.12266

Abstract

The -adic unitary operator is defined as an invertible operator on -adic ultrametric Banach space such that . We point out has a spectral measure valued in , which can be explained as the measure theory on the formal group scheme. The spectrum decomposition of is complete when is a -adic wave function. We study . The abelian extension theory of is connected to the topological properties of the -adic unitary operator. We classify the -adic unitary operator as three types: . Finally, we establish a $\textbf{framework of $p$-adic quantum mechanics}$, where projection functor plays a role of quantum measurement.
