On the Fourier transform and the spectral properties of the $$p$$-adic momentum and Schrödinger operators. (English) Zbl 0927.46060
The authors continue the study of the $$p$$-adic model of quantum mechanics initiated in their previous papers [S. Albeverio, A. Khrennikov, J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 29, 5515-5527 (1996; Zbl 0903.46073); S. Albeverio, R. Cianci, A. Khrennikov, J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 30, 881-889 (1997)]. In particular, a version of the Fourier transform is introduced, which is adapted to the spaces used in the paper, $$L_2$$-spaces with respect to the $$p$$-adic Gaussian distribution.
In the momentum representation the analogue of the momentum operator is similar to the position operator of the coordinate representation, which was studied earlier. As a result, spectral properties of the momentum operator are investigated. A possible physical meaning of the results is discussed, in particular the idea of a $$p$$-adic description of the finite exactness of measurement.
For another recent $$p$$-adic model of quantum mechanics, which is closely related to classical constructions of $$p$$-adic analysis, see the paper by the reviewer [A. N. Kochubei, J. Phys. A, Math. Gen. 29, 6375-6378 (1996; Zbl 0905.46051)].
