abstract
We construct a $p$-adic analog to AdS/CFT, where an unramified extension of the $p$-adic numbers replaces Euclidean space as the boundary and a version of the Bruhat-Tits tree replaces the bulk. Correlation functions are computed in the simple case of a single massive scalar in the bulk, with results that are strikingly similar to ordinary holographic correlation functions when expressed in terms of local zeta functions. We give some brief discussion of the geometry of $p$-adic chordal distance and of Wilson loops. Our presentation includes an introduction to $p$-adic numbers.

Propagator identities, holographic conformal blocks, and higher-point AdS diagrams
The authors derive new propagator identities that yield holographic representations for 5- and 6-point global scalar conformal blocks and obtain closed-form direct-channel decompositions of a class of higher-point AdS diagrams.
