A determinant for p-adic group algebras
[ Abstract ]
For a discrete countable group G there is a classical determinant on the units of the L^1-convolution algebra of G. It is defined using functional analysis and can be used for example to calculate the entropy of certain G-actions. We will discuss a p-adic analogue of this theory. Instead of functional analysis the definition of the p-adic determinant uses algebraic K-theory. It has an application to the study of the p-adic distribution of periodic G-orbits in certain G-action.
