p-adic Feynman and string amplitudes (Q1119754)

It is shown that the scalar models of the field theory over p-adic numbers are the analogs of Dyson's hierarchical models (after discretization). The standard methods of quantum field theory, in particular Feynman diagrams, renormalization and Wilson's renormalization group are proven to have generalizations to the p-adic case. The explicit representation for p-adic Feynman amplitudes and for the string scattering Koba-Nielsen amplitudes is given. It appears that in the p- adic case the exact representation as a sum of elementary functions can be obtained.
