Infinite Series Whose Topology of Convergence Varies From Point to Point

General Mathematics 2023-07-04 v1

Abstract

This paper catalogues a variety of examples concerning a type of function of a pp-adic integer variable defined by a formal series expression we have dubbed "F\mathcal{F}-series". These series exhibit a new, previously undocumented form of point-wise convergence, one where the topology in which the limit of a sequence of functions {fn}n1\left\{ f_{n}\right\}_{n\geq1} converges depends on the point at which the sequence is evaluated. In a manner comparable to the adele ring of a number field, functions defined by F\mathcal{F}-series require considering different metric completions of an underlying field in order to be properly understood.
