Topological transformation groups of manifolds over non-Archimedean fields, their representations, and quasi-invariant measures. I. (Q2654102)

This paper is the first part of a work carried out by the author about diffeomorphism groups and loop groups of manifolds on Banach spaces over non-archimedean valued fields. He promises that a second part of the work will be published later. In Chapter 1, non-archimedean diffeomorphism groups and loop groups are defined and investigated. Section 1 shows some results on ultrametric spaces, gives some preliminaries and introduces the definitions and notation; Sections 2 and 3 are devoted to study embeddings of non-archimedean manifolds in non-archimedean Banach spaces and the structure of diffeomorphism groups for non-archimedean manifolds, respectively; Section 4 considers loop groups and semigroups; Section 5 studies \(p\)-adic compactifications of diffeomorphism groups and loop groups of non-archimedean manifolds. In Chapter 2, the author constructs wide classes of quasi-invariant measures on non-archimedean Banach spaces with values in the field of real numbers and also in non-archimedean fields. In Section 6, an analogue of Gaussian measures on a Banach space and also pseudodifferentiability of measures are discussed; Section 7 considers measures on Banach spaces and presents non-archimedean analogues of weak distributions and characteristic functions of measures; Section 8 provides results on stochastic processes on non-archimedean Banach spaces. This voluminous paper contains many important results on the subject. I point out the following ones, all of them related to several interesting constructions made by the author, such as the following. {\parindent4mm \begin{itemize}\item[{\(\bullet\)}] Quasi-invariant measures on the mentioned groups with respect to dense subgroups. \item[{\(\bullet\)}] Stochastic processes on topological transformation groups of manifolds and also the corresponding transition probabilities. \item[{\(\bullet\)}] Quasi-invariant measures of Poisson type on the corresponding configurational spaces. \item[{\(\bullet\)}] Regular, strongly continuous, unitary representations of dense subgroups of topological transformation groups of manifolds. \item[{\(\bullet\)}]Non-associative and non-commutative Hilbert algebras. \end{itemize}}
