Description of all translation-invariant $p$-adic Gibbs measures for the Potts model on a Cayley tree

Abstract

Recently it was proved that usual (real) Potts model on a Cayley tree has up to $2^q-1$ translation-invariant Gibbs measures. This paper is devoted to description of translation- invariant $p$-adic Gibbs measures (TIpGMs) of the $p$-adic Potts model. In particular, for the Cayley tree of order two we give exact number of such measures. Mereover we give criterion of boundedness of TIpGMs.
