The p-adic quantum plane algebras and quantum Weyl algebra

Abstract

Let q be a principal unit of the ring of valuation of a complete valued field K, extension of the field of p-adic numbers. Generalizing Mahler basis, K. Conrad has constructed orthonormal basis, depending on q, of the space of continuous functions on the ring of p-adic integers with values in K. Attached to q there are two models of the quantum plane and a model of the quantum Weyl algebra, as algebras of bounded linear operators on the space of p-adic continuous functions. For q not a root of unit, interesting orthonormal (orthogonal) families of these algebras are exhibited and providing p-adic completion of quantum plane and quantum Weyl algebras.
