Abstract

We study scattering processes on pp-adic multiloop surfaces represented as multiloop infinite graphs with total valence in each vertex equal p+1p+1. They all are spaces of the constant negative curvature since they are quotients of the pp-adic hyperbolic plane over free acting discrete subgroup of PGL(2,Qp)PGL(2, {\bf Q}_p). Releasing the closed part of this graph containing all loops which is called reduced graph TredT_{red} we can obtain LL-function corresponding to this closed graph. For the total graph we introduce the notion of the spherical functions being eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator acting on the graph and consider ss--wave scattering processes therefore defining scattering matrices cic_i. The number of possibilities coincides with \Tred|\T_{red}| --- the number of vertices of the reduced graph. Taking the product over all cic_i we define the total scattering matrix which appears to be essentially presented as a ratio of LL--functions: CL(α+)/L(α)C\sim L(\alpha_+)/L(\alpha_-), where the function LL itself depends only on the shape of \Tr\Tr and not on the initial infinite graph, and the only dependence of initial pp is contained in arguments α±\alpha_\pm defined by pp and eigenvalue tt of the Laplacian. We also present a proof by H.Bass of the theorem expressing LL--functions on arbitrary finite graphs via determinants of some local operators on these graphs.
