Abstract

Let {τj}j=1n\{\tau_j\}_{j=1}^n and {ωk}k=1n\{\omega_k\}_{k=1}^n be two orthonormal bases for a finite dimensional p-adic Hilbert space X\mathcal{X}. Let M,N{1,,n}M,N\subseteq \{1, \dots, n\} be such that \begin{align*} \displaystyle \max_{j \in M, k \in N}|\langle \tau_j, \omega_k \rangle|<1, \end{align*} where o(M)o(M) is the cardinality of MM. Then for all xXx \in \mathcal{X}, we show that \begin{align} (1) \quad \quad \quad \quad \|x\|\leq \left(\frac{1}{1-\displaystyle \max_{j \in M, k \in N}|\langle \tau_j, \omega_k \rangle|}\right)\max\left\{\displaystyle \max_{j \in M^c}|\langle x, \tau_j\rangle |, \displaystyle \max_{k \in N^c}|\langle x, \omega_k\rangle |\right\}. \end{align} We call Inequality (1) as \textbf{p-adic Ghobber-Jaming Uncertainty Principle}. Inequality (1) is the p-adic version of uncertainty principle obtained by Ghobber and Jaming \textit{[Linear Algebra Appl., 2011]}. We also derive analogues of Inequality (1) for non-Archimedean Banach spaces.
