### Hensel's proof that $e$ is transcendental

You can read Hensel's original article here. The argument is really simple: from this expansion, we see that $e$ satisfies an equation of the form $y^p=1+pu$ where $u$ is a $p$-adic unit. But the ...

### Centraliser of an absolute Galois group

For an extension $L/\mathbf{Q}_p$, let $G_L$ denote the absolute Galois group $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{L}/L)$. If $\sigma \in G_{\mathbf{Q}_p}$ acts centrally on $G_K$, then it also acts centrally on ...

### Automorphisms of $\mathbb C_p$

If you strengthen the condition $\sigma(\mathbf Q_p) \subset \mathbf Q_p$ to $\sigma$ being the identity on $\mathbf Q_p$, so $\sigma$ is a $\mathbf Q_p$-automorphism of $\mathbf C_p$, then a simple ...

### Witt-vector vectors

It is impossible if you want reasonable functoriality, and for finite-dimensional vector spaces to be carried to finite free modules for $A$ a field. Presumably for $A = k$ a finite field of ...

### Question about log and exp of a formal group law

The radius of convergence of any formal group $F$ (one-dimensional, finite height) is $1$, in other words $L_F$ will converge at all $z\in\Bbb C_p$ with $v(z)>0$. In particular, the logarithm is ...

### 3-adic valuation of a sum involving binomial coefficients

The $3$-adic evaluation you seek is compactly given by $$\nu_3(a_{2n})=\nu_3\left(\binom{2n}n\right) \qquad \text{and} \qquad \nu_3(a_{2n+1})=\nu_3\left(3(2n+1)\binom{2n}n\right),$$ which can be ...

### In a CM field, must all conjugates of an algebraic integer lying outside the unit circle lie outside the same?

Zero is the only algebraic integer which has all its conjugates strictly inside the complex unit circle. (Look at the norm.) For explicit examples with conjugates on either side of the unit circle, ...

Is this question being asked just out of curiosity? As far as I know, the series $\sum_{n \geq 0} n!$ is not important in $p$-adic analysis. For $j \in \mathbf N$ and $q \not= 1$, let $(j)_q = (q^j-1)... • 41.8k 10 votes Accepted ### P-adic functions on annuli$\def\bQ{\mathbb{Q}}\def\bF{\mathbb{F}}\def\bZ{\mathbb{Z}}$This is false as stated because of the following important difference between$K$and$\mathbb{C}$: the former is not algebraically closed. ... • 6,517 10 votes ### p-adic L-functions of modular forms: why the condition$v_p(\alpha)<k-1$?

### When does the radius of convergence of the product of two $p$-adic power series increase?

Here is a counterexample to your question at the end, for each $p$. Let $f_u(x) = x + ux^p/p$ for $u \in \mathbf C_p$ with $|u|_p = 1$ and $|u-1|_p = 1$. (Such $u$ can be taken in $\mathbf Z_p^\times$ ...

### Zero of the exponential p-adic

It’s hard to see in what sense it could be true that the exponential function is “defined over $\Bbb C_p$”, since the logarithm is defined on the whole open unit disk there, and has so very many zeros....

### Vector bundles on adic spaces

The question is local on $X$, so we may assume that $\mathcal E$ is finite free, of rank $n$, say. In that case, as also SashaP points out, the question amounts to the question whether $\mathbb A^n_X$ ...

### When does the radius of convergence of the product of two $p$-adic power series increase?

I can only give a very partial answer, and that only from my very parochial point of view. I will use the additive valuation $v$ rather than absolute value, normalized so that $v(p)=1$, and in terms ...

### The p-adic valuation of a linear recurrence

Actually, the binary linear recurrence case is pretty precise, especially if $p\ge3$ and you're working over $\mathbb Q$, and not over a field where $p$ is ramified. Let $r(p)$ denote the rank of ...

### null infinite product in the p-adic setting

If $n_0$ is such that $|u_n|<1$ for $n \geq n_0$, then $|1+u_n| = 1$ for $n \geq n_0$, so the norm of the infinite product is the norm of the product of the first $n_0$ terms and hence nonzero.
