Criteria of measure-preserving for \(p\)-adic dynamical systems in terms of the van der Put basis (Q1930110): Difference between revisions

The theory of dynamical systems in the fields of \(p\)-adic numbers and their algebraic extensions is of great interest. As in the general theory of dynamical systems, problems of ergodicity and measure-preserving play fundamental roles in theory of \(p\)-adic dynamical systems. This paper is the first attempt to use the van der Put basis to examine measure-preserving discrete dynamical systems in a space of \(p\)-adic integers \(\mathbb{Z}_p\) for an arbitrary prime \(p\). The authors present a complete description of all compatible measure-preserving functions in the additive form of representation. In addition, they prove the criterion in terms of coefficients with respect to the van der Put basis determining whether a compatible function \(f: \mathbb{Z}_p \to \mathbb{Z}_p\) preserves the Haar measure.
