p-Adic quantum calculus and ideals of compact operators

Abstract

The paper proposes a construction of a quantum differentiation operator defined on the spaces of complex-valued functions of $p$-adic argument, and taking values in the algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space. The properties of this operator are investigated. In particular, it is proved that the differentiation operator maps $p$-adic Besov spaces into Schatten-von Neumann ideals in the algebra of compact operators.
