On $\mathfrak{P}$-adic continued fractions with extraneous denominators: some explicit finiteness results

Number Theory 2026-03-13 v2

Abstract

Let KK be a number field. We show that, up to allowing a finite set of denominators in the partial quotients, it is possible to define algorithms for P\mathfrak P-adic continued fractions satisfying the finiteness property on KK for every prime ideal P\mathfrak P of sufficiently large norm. This provides, in particular, a new algorithmic approach to the construction of division chains in number fields.
