Abstract

In this paper, we study three aspects of the pp-adic M\"obius maps. One is the group PSL(2,Op)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathcal{O}_{p}), another is the geometrical characterization of the pp-adic M\"obius maps and its application, and the other is different norms of the pp-adic M\"obius maps. Firstly, we give a series of equations of the pp-adic M\"obius maps in PSL(2,Op)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathcal{O}_{p}) between matrix, chordal, hyperbolic and unitary aspects. Furthermore, the properties of PSL(2,Op)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathcal{O}_{p}) can be applied to study the geometrical characterization, the norms, the decomposition theorem of pp-adic M\"obius maps, and the convergence and divergence of pp-adic continued fractions. Secondly, we classify the pp-adic M\"obius maps into four types and study the geometrical characterization of the pp-adic M\"obius maps from the aspects of fixed points in PBer1\mathbb{P}^{1}_{Ber} and the invariant axes which yields the decomposition theorem of pp-adic M\"obius maps. Furthermore, we prove that if a subgroup of PSL(2,Cp)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C}_{p}) containing elliptic elements only, then all elements fix the same point in HBer\mathbb{H}_{Ber} without using the famous theorem--Cartan fixed point theorem, and this means that this subgroup has potentially good reduction. In the last part, we extend the inequalities obtained by Gehring and Martin\cite{F.G1,F.G2}, Beardon and Short \cite{AI} to the non-archimedean settings. These inequalities of pp-adic M\"obius maps are between the matrix, chordal, three-point and unitary norms. This part of work can be applied to study the convergence of the sequence of pp-adic M\"obius maps which can be viewed as a special cases of the work in \cite{CJE} and the discrete criteria of the subgroups of PSL(2,Cp)\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{C}_{p}).
