A $p$-adic lower bound for a linear form in logarithms

Number Theory 2022-05-19 v2

Abstract

Linear forms in logarithms have an important role in the theory of Diophantine equations. In this article, we prove explicit pp-adic lower bounds for linear forms in pp-adic logarithms of rational numbers using Pad\'e approximations of the second kind.
