\(p\)-adic conformal invariance and the Bruhat-Tits tree (Q1177125)

The symmetry properties of \(p\)-adic scaling invariant field theories are investigated. It is shown that some Gaussian and non-Gaussian scaling invariant \(p\)-adic field theories are invariant under the group which conserves the \(p\)-adic norm of the cross-ratio of any four points. This group has a continuation on the Bruhat-Tits tree as an automorphism group of this tree.
