Description

We discuss a speculative formulation of quantum field theories and string theories with fields viewed as maps between mod p, p-adic geometries, and "smoother" analytifications. This provides a physical interpretation and refinement of discretization over lattice truncation schemes and motivates some natural generalizations of p-adic strings.
