The authors' main claim We obtain a $p$-adic version of entropy which obeys a Ryu-Takayanagi like formula for bipartite entanglement of connected or disconnected regions, in both genus-zero and genus-one $p$-adic backgrounds, along with a Bekenstein-Hawking-type formula for black hole entropy.

We consider a class of holographic quantum error-correcting codes, built from perfect tensors in network configurations dual to Bruhat-Tits trees and their quotients by Schottky groups corresponding to BTZ black holes. The resulting holographic states can be constructed in the limit of infinite network size. We obtain a $p$-adic version of entropy which obeys a Ryu-Takayanagi like formula for bipartite entanglement of connected or disconnected regions, in both genus-zero and genus-one $p$-adic backgrounds, along with a Bekenstein-Hawking-type formula for black hole entropy. We prove entropy inequalities obeyed by such tensor networks, such as subadditivity, strong subadditivity, and monogamy of mutual information (which is always saturated). In addition, we construct infinite classes of perfect tensors directly from semiclassical states in phase spaces over finite fields, generalizing the CRSS algorithm, and give Hamiltonians exhibiting these as vacua.

  • Several papers [ref] in the $p$-adic AdS/CFT literature have studied theories on the Tate curve[See also [ref] for a study of partition functions on this geometry from a tensor network point of view.] from a bulk perspective and further argued that this geometry furnishes the $p$-adic analog of the Euclidean BTZ black hole, with the parameter $w$ providing the analog of black hole entropy and area.[In light of the related themes of Ref. [ref] and the present paper, it may be useful to note that the former sought to extend the results of Ref. [ref] to $p$-adic AdS/CFT, while the present paper derives inspiration mainly from Refs. [ref] and [ref] .] While Schwarzschild-AdS and thermal AdS furnish distinct bulk geometries at the real place, we argue in this paper that the selfsame Bruhat-Tits quotient that in the literature has been interpreted as a kind of BTZ black hole also provides a bu

  • Starting with classical error-correcting codes in the form of Reed–Solomon codes built over projective lines over finite fields [ref] , one may upgrade these to quantum codes by applying the CRSS algorithm [ref] , which we show can be generalized to directly obtain perfect tensors from certain self-orthogonal codes.

  • The result RTgenus0 is obtained by explicitly computing the reduced density matrix and diagonalizing it.[Some issues associated with infinite dimensional density matrices in the limit when the cutoff $Λ→∞$ are discussed in section [ref].] The entanglement entropy obtained is in direct analogy with the corresponding classic result for the entanglement of a connected interval (of size $|x-y|$ over the real line) with its complement, on a static spatial slice of a massless CFT$_2$ with UV cutoff $ϵ$ [ref] .
