We considered real, p-adic and adelic noncommutative scalar solitons and obtained some new results.
We consider adelic approach to strings and spatial noncommutativity. Path integral method to string amplitudes is emphasized. Uncertainties in spatial measurements in quantum gravity are related to noncommutativity between coordinates. p-Adic and adelic Moyal products are introduced. In particular, p-adic and adelic counterparts of some real noncommutative scalar solitons are constructed.
p-Adic generalization of the Feynman path integrals in quantum mechanics is considered. The probability amplitude for a particle in a constant field is calculated. Path integrals over p-adic space have the same form as those over R.
p-Adic and adelic generalization of ordinary quantum cosmology is considered. In [1], we have calculated p-adic wave functions for some minisuperspace cosmological models according to the "no-boundary" Hartle-Hawking proposal. In this article, applying p-adic and adelic quantum mechanics, we show existence of the corresponding vacuum eigenstates. Adelic wave function contains some information on discrete structure of space-time at the Planck scale.
New approach to p-adic and adelic strings, which takes into account that not only world sheet but also Minkowski space-time and string momenta can be p-adic and adelic, is formulated. p-Adic and adelic string amplitudes are considered within Feynman's path integral formalism. The adelic Veneziano amplitude is calculated. Some discreteness of string momenta is obtained. Also, adelic coupling constant is equal to unity.
Feynman's path integral is generalized to quantum mechanics on p-adic space and time. Such p-adic path integral is analytically evaluated for quadratic Lagrangians. Obtained result has the same form as that one in ordinary quantum mechanics.
The classical and quantum formalism for a p-adic and adelic harmonic oscillator with time-dependent frequency is developed, and general formulae for main theoretical quantities are obtained. In particular, the p-adic propagator is calculated, and the existence of a simple vacuum state as well as adelic quantum dynamics is shown. Space discreteness and p-adic quantum-mechanical phase are noted.
