Abstract
We study a linear form in the values of Euler's series at algebraic integer points belonging to a number field . Let be a non-Archimedean valuation of . Two types of non-vanishing results for the linear form , , are derived, the second of them containing a lower bound for the -adic absolute value of . The first non-vanishing result is also extended to the case of primes in residue classes. On the way to the main results, we present explicit Pad\'e approximations to the generalised factorial series , where is a polynomial of degree one.
