Abstract

In this paper we define the pp-adic framed braid group F,n{\mathcal F}_{\infty,n}, arising as the inverse limit of the modular framed braids and we give topological generators for F,n{\mathcal F}_{\infty, n}. We also give geometric interpretations for the pp-adic framed braids. We then construct a pp-adic Yokonuma-Hecke algebra Y,n(u){\rm Y}_{\infty,n}(u) as the inverse limit of a family of classical Yokonuma-Hecke algebras. These are quotients of the modular framed braid groups over a quadratic relation. We also give topological generators for Y,n(u){\rm Y}_{\infty,n}(u). Finally, we construct on this new algebra a linear trace that supports the Markov property.
