1. Main result
Let be a non-discrete non-Archimedean local field. Write for the its valuation ring with maximal ideal . Let be the number of elements of the finite residue field , where is a prime number and . Fix the standard norm on . Let be the Haar measure on normalized such that .
By a random point process on , we mean a random locally finite subset of . The main objects under consideration in this note are stationary determinantal point processes on . For the background on determinantal point processes, the reader is referred to [8, 9, 13, 10] and references therein.
Definition 1.1** (Ghosh and Peres [6, 7]).**
A random point process on is number rigid, if for any bounded open subset , the number of particles of the random point process inside , is almost surely determined by .
We refer to [5, 3, 1, 2, 11] for further references on the number-rigidity property for determinantal point processes.
Let be a measurable subset such that . By Macchì-Soshnikov theorem, we may introduce a determinantal point process on , denoted by , whose correlation kernel is given by
[TABLE]
where is the Fourier transform of the indicator function of the set , see §2.1 for the precise definition of the Fourier transform in the non-Archimedean setting. The translation-invariance of the kernel implies that the random point process is stationary, that is, the probability distribution of is invariant under translations.
Our main result is
Theorem 1.2**.**
Assume that is a measurable subset such that and
[TABLE]
where \mathchoice{{\vbox{\hbox{\textstyle- }}\kern-7.83337pt}}{{\vbox{\hbox{\scriptstyle- }}\kern-5.90005pt}}{{\vbox{\hbox{\scriptscriptstyle- }}\kern-4.75003pt}}{{\vbox{\hbox{\scriptscriptstyle- }}\kern-4.25003pt}}\!\int_{B(0,q^{-n})}\mathrm{d}\mathfrak{m} is the normalized integration. Then the determinantal point process induced by the kernel is number rigid.
The geometrical condition (1.1) can be replaced by an analytic condition on the -decay of the Fourier transform .
Theorem 1.3**.**
Assume that is a measurable subset such that and
[TABLE]
Then the determinantal point process induced by the kernel is number rigid.
We note that in Euclidean case, the stationary determinantal point processes that are known to be number rigid are
- •
[6] the Dyson sine process or slightly more generally, the determinantal point processes on with a correlation kernel
[TABLE]
where is a finite union of intervals;
- •
[7] the Ginibre point process.
But the Ginibre point process is induced by the kernel
[TABLE]
which is not given by the Fourier transform of any function on . Therefore, in Euclidean case, only in dimension one do we know examples of stationary determinantal point processes whose correlation kernels are convolution kernels. It has also been mentioned in [2] that the existing methods do not seem to produce number rigid stationary determinantal point processes in with .
While in non-Archimedean setting, there exist trivial examples of stationary determinantal point processes: for example, in the case of -adic number field , for any , by the identity
[TABLE]
we know that the kernel
[TABLE]
induces a determinantal point process on . This determinantal point process can be trivially verified to be number rigid since for any pair such that , we have
[TABLE]
and this implies that the determinantal point process induced by the kernel (1.3) is the union of countably many independent copies of determinantal point processes on the translates of , each of them has exactly one particle. By the same reason, if is a union of finitely many balls, then the determinantal point process induced by the kernel is trivially number rigid. Of course, in these trivial examples, the sets satisfy trivially the condition (1.1).
Theorem 1.2 produces non-trivial examples of Borel subsets such that the associated stationary determinantal point processes are number rigid, see §4.2 for such examples. Since any finite dimensional vector space over can be seen as a finite extension of the field , which is again a non-Archimedean local field, Theorem 1.2 produces non-trivial examples of stationary determinantal point processes on any finite dimensional vector space over .
Recall that any open set of the real line is a countable union of intervals, inspired by our result in non-Archimedean situation, it is natural to ask the following
Question**.**
Let be an open subset with finite positive Lebesgue measure. Is the determinantal point process on induced by the correlation kernel
[TABLE]
number rigid?
2. Preliminaries
2.1. Notation
We recall some basic notion in the theory of local fields. Let be a non-discrete non-Archimedean local field. The classification of local fields (see Ramakrishnan and Valenza[12, Theorem 4-12]) implies that is isomorphic to one of the following fields:
- •
a finite extension of the field of -adic numbers for some prime .
- •
the field of formal Laurent series over a finite field.
Let denote the absolute value on and let denote the metric on defined by . The set forms a subring of and is called the ring of integers or the valuation ring of . The subset is the unique maximal ideal of the integer-ring . The quotient is a finite field with cardinality
[TABLE]
By fixing any element with , we have
[TABLE]
Denote by the Pontryagin dual of the additive group . Elements in are called characters of . Throughout the note, we fix a non-trivial character such that
[TABLE]
For any , define a character by , then the map defines a group isomorphism from to .
Let be the Haar measure on the additive group normalized such that . Given any function , its Fourier transform is defined by
[TABLE]
2.2. Determinantal point processes on
We say a random point process is a determinantal point process induced by a correlation kernel , if for any positive integer and for any compactly supported bounded measurable function , we have
[TABLE]
where denotes the sum over all ordered -tuples of distinct points .
3. Kolmogorov minimality
Let the quotient additive group. Then is a discrete countable group. Elements in will be denoted either by or with . We equip with an absolute value, denoted again by and defined by
[TABLE]
Note that the group is identified naturally with the Pontryagin dual of the additive group by the following well-defined pairing
[TABLE]
where is the fixed character of satisfying (2.4).
A -indexed family of -valued random variables defined on a common probability space is called a -indexed stochastic process. It is called (weakly) -stationary, if for all and for any , we have
[TABLE]
where denotes the expectation of and denotes the covariance between and defined by
[TABLE]
The Bochner Theorem for positive definite functions on locally compact groups implies that given any weakly -stationary stochastic process , there exists a unique measure on , called the spectral measure of , such that
[TABLE]
Definition 3.1**.**
A weakly -stationary stochastic process defined on a probability space is called Kolmogorov minimal, if
[TABLE]
Proposition 3.2**.**
Let be a -stationary stochastic process. Assume that
- (1)
;
- (2)
, as .
Then is Kolmogorov minimal.
The proof of Proposition 3.2 is based on the following Lemma 3.3 due to Kolmogorov. The proof of Lemma 3.3 is similar to the proof of the same result for -indexed stochastic processes and the reader is referred to [2, Lemma 2.1].
Lemma 3.3** (The Kolmogorov Criterion).**
Let be a weakly -stationary stochastic process such that . Assume that the spectral measure of has the Lebesgue decomposition:
[TABLE]
where and are the absolutely continuous and the singular parts of respectively with respect to . Then the least -distance between and the space is given by
[TABLE]
where the right side is to be interpreted as zero if
[TABLE]
Lemma 3.4**.**
Let be a -indexed sequence of complex numbers such that
[TABLE]
Then there exists a constant , such that the function defined by the formula
[TABLE]
satisfies
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let be such that . Notice that if , then . Therefore, we have
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
∎
Lemma 3.5**.**
.
Proof.
Denote , then we have the partition
[TABLE]
Note that
[TABLE]
Since any has the absolute value , we have
[TABLE]
∎
Proof of Proposition 3.2.
The spectral measure of is given by
[TABLE]
Indeed, one can easily check that the measure defined on the right hand side satisfies the equation (3.6). By the uniqueness of the spectral measure, it must be . Note that here, the spectral measure has no singular part with respect to .
Now let
[TABLE]
The first condition in Proposition 3.2 implies that . While the second condition, combined with Lemma 3.4, implies that there exists , such that
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
This combined with Lemma 3.3 implies the desired relation (3.7). ∎
4. Determinantal point processes on
4.1. Proofs of Theorem 1.2 and Theorem 1.3
For any positive integer , fix a set of representatives of the quotient additive group . The cosets of are exactly the closed balls with and we have
[TABLE]
In what follows, we assume that contains the origin . We will also identify with and equip with the same additive group structure as .
Note that we have a natural group isomorphism between two additive groups:
[TABLE]
Using the group isomorphism (4.10), we immediately get a corollary from Proposition 3.2.
Corollary 4.1**.**
Fix any positive integer . Let be an -stationary stochastic process defined on a probability space . Assume that
- (1)
;
- (2)
, as .
Then is Kolmogorov minimal, that is,
[TABLE]
Let be a measurable subset such that . Let
[TABLE]
Then the kernel induces a determinantal point process on . In what follows, let be a determinantal point process induced by the correlation kernel . The translation invariance of the kernel
[TABLE]
implies that the determinantal point process is translation-invariant.
For each , we set a random variable
[TABLE]
Since the law of is invariant under the translations , the stochastic process is also -stationary.
For simplifying the notation, in what follows, when is clear from the context, we will denote by .
Lemma 4.2**.**
For any measurable subset such that , we have
[TABLE]
Proof.
By taking in the formula (2.5), for any , we have
[TABLE]
We can write
[TABLE]
The first term has already been shown to be . To compute the second term, we take in (2.5) and get
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
Note that for , the two closed balls and are disjoint. Therefore, if , we have
[TABLE]
By taking in (2.5), we get
[TABLE]
Consequently,
[TABLE]
Finally, by using the equality
[TABLE]
we obtain the desired equality (4.12). ∎
Lemma 4.3**.**
Let be an integer such that . We have
[TABLE]
Proof.
Let . Then for any , we have
[TABLE]
Since is the Haar measure on , the restriction is invariant under the translation of . Therefore, the equality (4.13) can be written as
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
By applying the partition
[TABLE]
we obtain the desired equality
[TABLE]
∎
Lemma 4.4**.**
Let be an integer such that . We have
[TABLE]
Proof.
Note that we have (see, e.g. [4, Lemma 3.3])
[TABLE]
and also
[TABLE]
Here denotes also the Fourier transform. Therefore,
[TABLE]
By Parseval’s identity
[TABLE]
Note that is an additive group and for any , we have
[TABLE]
Since the restriction is invariant under the translations of , we have
[TABLE]
The equality (4.14) combined with the following equality
[TABLE]
yields the desired equality
[TABLE]
∎
Proof of Theorem 1.2.
In Definition 1.1, the subset ranges over all bounded open subsets. It is easy to see that without changing the definition of number rigidity, we can let only range over all the closed balls with . In our notation (4.11), for each , the number of particles of our determinantal point process inside is denoted by , by Corollary 4.1, Lemma 4.2 and Lemma 4.4, the assumption (1.1) implies
[TABLE]
Thus the random variable is measurable with respect to the completion of the -algebra generated by the family . Therefore, is almost surely determined by . Since is arbitrary, we complete the proof of the number rigidity of . ∎
Proof of Theorem 1.3.
In the proof of Theorem 1.2, replacing Lemma 4.4 by Lemma 4.3, we obtain Theorem 1.3. ∎
4.2. Examples
Let us now concentrate in the case where is an open subset with . It is easy to see that has a unique decomposition
[TABLE]
such that (with ) is the largest closed ball in containing . Here .
In the decomposition (4.17) of , we may assume that
[TABLE]
where is the smallest integer in the sequence . For any , we define the multiplicity of in the sequence by
[TABLE]
Fix . For any given with , it is easy to see that all those sub-balls in the decomposition (4.17) whose radius is not smaller than , we have
[TABLE]
Therefore, by recalling the definition (4.18) for the multiplicity, we have
[TABLE]
Proposition 4.5**.**
If , then the open subset satisfies the condition (1.1).
Proof.
For any given with , the inequality (4.19) implies that
[TABLE]
Therefore, we have
[TABLE]
This implies that satisfies the desired condition (1.1). ∎
