Geometry of \(p\)-adic Siegel discs (Q1339239)

The authors survey dynamical properties of certain maps in \(p\)-adic fields. First they describe the dynamics of a linear map \(z\mapsto \mu z+z_ 1\) in the field \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\) of \(p\)-adic numbers with a 1-unit \(\mu\) and unit \(z_ 1\). They observe that the orbit of \(z_ 1\) is dense in \(\mathbb{Z}_ p\), the ring of integers of \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\) and is ergodic with respect to the standard measure in \(\mathbb{Z}_ p\). A generalization to finite extensions of \(\mathbb{Q}_ p\) is indicated. In such an extension \(K\) dynamical properties of maps of the form \(x\mapsto (1+x)^ \omega -1\) are investigated with either \(\omega\in \mathbb{Z}\) or \(\omega\in \mathbb{Z}_ p\) if \(x\) is restricted to the maximal ideal of the ring of integers of \(K\). The final part of the paper contains a description of a procedure which permits to obtain in certain cases the conjugacy of two maps with similar dynamics. No proofs are given.
