Convergence of a $p$-adic series

Let $K$ be a local field of characteristic $0$ with valuation $v$. I think $$\lim_{\substack{q\in K\\q\to1}}\sum_{n\ge0}\prod_{j=1}^n\frac{q^j-1}{q-1}$$ converges to $\sum_{n\ge0}n!\in K$ but I did ...

Zero of the exponential p-adic

Consider the $p$-adic exponential defined over $\mathbb C_p$. One knows $\exp$ is analytic in the domain $\mathcal D=\{z\in\mathbb C_P\mid v_p(z)>\frac1{p-1}\}$. Does it exist an element $z_0\in\...

Is $K^\times/ F^\times$ compact for local fields?

Let $K/F$ be a finite extension of local fields (of characteristic 0). Is it true that the quotient group $K^\times/ F^\times$ is always compact? I understand that if the extension is cyclic, it is ...

Maximum modulus principle over the $p$-adic integers

Consider $\mathbb{Z}_p$ the $p$-adic integers. Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}_p[x]$ be an arbitrary polynomial in one variable. Write $f(x) = \sum_{k}a_kx^k$. Is it true that $\|f\|:= \max_k |a_k|_p = \sup_{t \...

Algebraic numbers in all $\mathbb Q_p$ [duplicate]

Do there exist non-rational algebraic numbers that belong to $\mathbb Q_p$ for all prime $p$? If yes, can one characterize them? I spent several days for the first question, and I found nothing. The ...

Trivial p-adic measures

I am looking at p-adic distributions, and in this case p-adic measures. To say that $\mu$ is a distribution means that the arguments of $\mu$ are compact open subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_p$, $\mu$ is ...
