p-adic framed braids and p-adic framed links

We first present the construction of the p-adic framed braids. These can be viewed as classical framed braids, but with the framings being p-adic integers, or as natural infinite cablings of modular framed braids. We then construct the p-adic Yokonuma-Hecke algebras. The classical Y-H algebras can be defined as quadratic quotients of the modular framed braid group algebras. Finally, we construct a p-adic Markov trace on the p-adic Y-H algebras, which we normalize to obtain an isotopy invariant of p-adic framed links.
