Nonlocal dynamics of p-adic strings

Abstract

We consider the construction of Lagrangians that might be suitable for describing the entire p-adic sector of an adelic open scalar string. These Lagrangians are constructed using the Lagrangian for p-adic strings with an arbitrary prime number p. They contain space-time nonlocality because of the d'Alembertian in the argument of the Riemann zeta function. We present a brief review and some new results. © 2010 MAIK/Nauka.
