p-adic number  

Definición

  • In number theory, given a prime number p, the p-adic numbers form an extension of the rational numbers which is distinct from the real numbers, though with some similar properties; p-adic numbers can be written in a form similar to (possibly infinite) decimals, but with digits based on a prime number p rather than ten, and extending (possibly infinitely) to the left rather than to the right. Formally, given a prime number p, a p-adic number can be defined as a series


    where k is an integer (possibly negative), and each is a integer such that A p-adic integer is a p-adic number such that
    In general the series that represents a p-adic number is not convergent in the usual sense, but it is convergent for the p-adic absolute value where k is the least integer i such that (if all are zero, one has the zero p-adic number, which has 0 as its p-adic absolute value).
