We prove that if $p>d$ there is a unique gaussian distribution (in the sense of Evans) on the space $\mathbb{Q}_p[x_1, \ldots, x_n]_{(d)}$ which is invariant under the action of $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{Z}_p)$ by change of variables. This gives the nonarchimedean counterpart of Kostlan's Theorem \cite{Kostlan93} on the classification of orthogonally (respectively unitarily) invariant gaussian measures on the space $\mathbb{R}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]_{(d)}$ (respectively $\mathbb{C}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]_{(d)}$). More generally, if $V$ is an $n$-dimensional vector space over a nonarchimedean local field $K$ with ring of integers $R$, and if $\lambda$ is a partition of an integer $d$, we study the problem of determining the invariant lattices in the Schur module $S_\lambda(V)$ under the action of the group $\mathrm{GL}(n,R)$., Comment: 14 pages, 1 Figure

We give a method for sampling points from an algebraic manifold (affine or projective) over a local field with a prescribed probability distribution. In the spirit of the previous work by Breiding and Marigliano on real algebraic manifolds, our method is based on slicing the given variety with random linear spaces of complementary dimension. We also provide an implementation of our sampling method and discuss a few applications. As an application, we sample from algebraic p-adic matrix groups and modular curves., Comment: 28 pages, 1 Figure

We express the reduction types of Picard curves in terms of tropical invariants associated to binary quintics. We also give a general framework for tropical invariants associated to group actions on arbitrary varieties. The problem of finding tropical invariants for binary forms fits in this general framework by mapping the space of binary forms to symmetrized versions of the Deligne-Mumford compactification $\overline{M}_{0,n}$., Comment: 25 pages

Bolytropes are bounded subsets of an affine building that consist of all points that have distance at most $r$ from some polytrope. We prove that the points of a bolytrope describe the set of all invariant lattices of a bolytrope order, generalizing the correspondence between polytropes and graduated orders., Comment: Minor revisions according to referee's suggestions.

In this paper, we study linear spaces of matrices defined over discretely valued fields and discuss their dimension and minimal rank drops over the associated residue fields. To this end, we take first steps into the theory of rank-metric codes over discrete valuation rings by means of skew algebras derived from Galois extensions of rings. Additionally, we model projectivizations of rank-metric codes via Mustafin varieties, which we then employ to give sufficient conditions for a decrease in the dimension., Comment: 31 pages
