A Heat Equation on some Adic Completions of Q and Ultrametric Analysis

Abstract

This article deals with a Markov process related to the fundamental solution of a heat equation on the direct product ring Q_S, where Q_S is a finite direct product of p-adic fields. The techniques developed here are different from the well known ones: they are geometrical and very simple. As a result, the techniques developed here provides a general framework of these problems on other related ultrametric groups.
