Phase transitions for $P$-adic Potts model on the Cayley tree of order three

In the present paper, we study a phase transition problem for the $q$-state $p$-adic Potts model over the Cayley tree of order three. We consider a more general notion of $p$-adic Gibbs measure which depends on parameter $ρ\in\bq_p$. Such a measure is called {\it generalized $p$-adic quasi Gibbs measure}. When $ρ$ equals to $p$-adic exponent, then it coincides with the $p$-adic Gibbs measure. When $ρ=p$, then it coincides with $p$-adic quasi Gibbs measure. Therefore, we investigate two regimes with respect to the value of $|ρ|_p$. Namely, in the first regime, one takes $ρ=\exp_p(J)$ for some $J\in\bq_p$, in the second one $|ρ|_p<1$. In each regime, we first find conditions for the existence of generalized $p$-adic quasi Gibbs measures. Furthermore, in the first regime, we establish the existence of the phase transition under some conditions. In the second regime, when $|\r|_p,|q|_p\leq p^{-2}$ we prove the existence of a quasi phase transition. It turns out that if $|\r|_p<|q-1|_p^2<1$ and $\sqrt{-3}\in\bq_p$, then one finds the existence of the strong phase transition.
