Generalised diffusion on moduli spaces of \(p\)-adic Mumford curves



Abstract: A construction of a pseudo-differential operator on non-archimedean local fields invariant under a finite group action is given together with the solution of the corresponding Cauchy problem. This construction is applied to parts of the Gerritzen-Herrlich Teichm"uller space in order to obtain a self-adjoint operator whose spectrum can decide about certain properties of the reduction graph of the corresponding Mumford curves.


From the text: ``In this article, we are able to construct pseudo-differential operators on a local field which are invariant under the action of a given finite group. The corresponding Cauchy problems are formulated and solved by the help of suitable heat kernels. This construction is applied to the part of the Gerritzen-Herrlich Teichmüller space which uniformizes the locus in the moduli space of Mumford curves having a fixed reduction type. The main result concerning Mumford curves is first the construction of a self-adjoint pseudodifferential operator \(H_G\) parametrized by a real number \(\lambda\) on the part \(\mathcal F(G)\) of a certain fundamental domain of the Gerritzen-Herrlich Teichmüller space which represents Schottky groups leading to Mumford curves with stable reduction graph \(G\). This part \(\mathcal F(G)\) depends on a spanning tree \(T\) of \(G\), and the operator \(H_G\) is invariant under the action of the automorphism group of \(G\). Secondly, the spectrum of \(H_G\) satisfies \[ \operatorname{Spec}H_G\subset p^{\mathbb Z}-\lambda \] if and only if \(G\) does not contain a mouth-shaped subgraph having a corner which is a tip of \(T\), such that at most two edges of \(G\) outside of \(T\) are attached to it. This result shows that it is possible to identify types of reduction graphs of Mumford curves by the spectrum of pseudo-differential operators.
