Periodic points of a $p$-adic operator and their $p$-adic Gibbs measures

In this paper we investigate generalized Gibbs measure (GGM) for $p$-adic Hard-Core(HC) model with a countable set of spin values on a Cayley tree of order $k\geq 2$. This model is defined by $p$-adic parameters $λ_i$, $i\in \mathbb N$. We analyze $p$-adic functional equation which provides the consistency condition for the finite-dimensional generalized Gibbs distributions. Each solutions of the functional equation defines a GGM by $p$-adic version of Kolmogorov's theorem. We define $p$-adic Gibbs distributions as limit of the consistent family of finite-dimensional generalized Gibbs distributions and show that, for our $p$-adic HC model on a Cayley tree, such a Gibbs distribution does not exist. Under some conditions on parameters $p$, $k$ and $λ_i$ we find the number of translation-invariant and two-periodic GGMs for the $p$-adic HC model on the Cayley tree of order two.
