Nick Katz observation: "the rationality of the zeta function!"
In the proceedings "Algebraic Geometry - Arcata 1974" edited by R. Hartshorne there is an article by Nick Katz called "$p$-adic $L$-functions via moduli of elliptic curves". He starts by recalling $p$-...

Transcendence of the $p$-adic number $\sum_{n\ge0}a^{2^n}$
Let $p$ a prime number and $a\in\overline{\mathbb Q}\subset\mathbb C_p$ be an algebraic $p$-adic number such that $|a|_p<1$.
Is the number $s_a=\sum_{n\ge0}a^{2^n}$ transcendental over $\mathbb ...

Lemma in Scholze-Weinstein
In the paper "Moduli of $p$-divisible groups" by Scholze and Weinstein (see http://math.bu.edu/people/jsweinst/Moduli/Moduli.pdf), one finds the following claim in Lemma 5.2.7:
Lemma: Let $K$ be a ...

Bezout-type theorem for $p$-adic analytic plane curves
Let $p$ be a prime, and let $f,g \in \mathbb{Z}_p[[x,y]]$ be power series convergent on all of $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Suppose that the intersection of the analytic plane curves cut out by $f$ and $g$ is ...

Analytic continuation of $f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1-x^p}}$ over the p-adics
Consider the power series $f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1-x^p}}$ over the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, defined by $f(0)=1$.
What can be said about an analytic continuation "in the form of Mittag-...

Finite dimensional irreps of $p$-adic groups
What are some examples of finite dimensional irreducible complex representations of $SL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$?
One knows such a representations cannot be smooth, so probably the examples will be ...

Simultaneously using the real and 2adic norms
In the book Modern Computer Arithmetic, there is a section that talks about division with remainder and such in a way that exploits the interplay between the real and 2-adic norms; e.g. the linked-to ...

Carlitz factorials and Euler-like series
Let $q$ be a power of a prime $p$. For every $i\in\mathbb N$, one denotes $D_i=\prod_{\substack{h\in\mathbb F_q[T]\text{ monic}\\\deg h=i}}\limits h$. For $n\in\mathbb N$, write $$n=n_0+n_1q+\cdots+...

Relative Leopoldt defect
Let F be a totally real number field such that the Leopoldt conjecture holds at a prime number $p$ and $M$ be a quadratic totally real extension of $F$.
Is there a bound of the Leopoldt defect of $M$ ...

How to estimate the highest power of 2 in the partial sum of 2-adic $\log(-1)$ (i.e. $\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{2^i}{i}$)?
The estimate I wanna get is $$v_2(\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{2^i}{i})\geq\min_{t\geq n+1}\{t-v_2(t)\}\tag{*}$$
where $v_2$ is the 2-adic valuation, that is the highest power of 2 defined on $\mathbb{Q}$.
Set $$...

Computing a projection of a $p$-adic plane curve
Given a prime $p$ and a polynomial equation $f(x,y)=0$ with rational coefficients, I would like to obtain a precise description of the set of all numbers $y\in\mathbb Q_p$ such that the equation has a ...
