A Regularization of Quantum Field Hamiltonians with the Aid of p–adic Numbers

Gaussian distributions on infinite-dimensional p-adic spaces are introduced and the corresponding L2-spaces of p-adic-valued square integrable functions are constructed. Representations of the infinite-dimensional Weyl group are realized in p-adic L2-spaces. There is a formal analogy with the usual Segal representation. But there is also a large topological difference: parameters of the p-adic infinite-dimensional Weyl group are defined only on some balls (these balls are additive subgroups). p-adic Hilbert space representations of quantum Hamiltonians for systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom are constructed. Many Hamiltonians with potentials which are too singular to exist as functions over reals are realized as bounded symmetric operators in L2-spaces with respect to a p-adic Gaussian distribution.
