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 ...
