These are integral operators for measures coming from a regular $1$-form, and kernel functions constructed via theta functions. The second operator can be described via certain non-archimedan curvature forms on $E_q^{an}$. The spectra of these self-adjoint bounded operators on the Hilbert spaces of $L^2$-functions are identical and found to consist of finitely many eigenvalues. A study of the corresponding heat equations yields a positive answer to the Cauchy problem, and induced Markov processes on the curve. Finally, some geometric information about the $K$-rational points of $E_q$ is retrieved from the spectrum.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-12-06T16:02:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14H52", "58J35" ], "keywords": [ "non-archimedean local field", "tate elliptic curve", "theta-induced diffusion", "rational points", "corresponding heat equations yields" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
