Does $p$-adic Baker theorem holds in the given case?
Let $p$ be a prime number, $\mathbb{Q}_p$ the field of $p$-adic numbers, and $\mathbb{C}_p$ the completion of the algebraic closure of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $U_p$ be the units $(1+\mathfrak{m})$ of $\...

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 ...

Linear independence of p-adic logarithms (analog of Baker's theorem)
We have the following theorem of Baker:
Theorem 1. Let $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_m \in \mathbb{C}$ be algebraic numbers $\neq 0, 1$ such that $\log \alpha_1, \ldots, \log \alpha_m$ are linearly ...

Transcendence of a ratio of p-adic logarithms
Let $p, \ell_1, \ell_2$ be distinct prime numbers, and $x_1, x_2 \in \overline{\mathbf{Q}}^\times$.
If
$$ \frac{\log_p x_1}{\log_p \ell_1} = \frac{\log_p x_2}{\log_p \ell_2}, $$
does it follow that ...
