$p$-adic equidistribution and an application to $S$-units

Number Theory 2024-11-01 v1

Abstract

We prove a Galois equidistribution result for torsion points in Gmn\mathbb G_m^n in the pp-adic setting for test functions of the form logFp\log |F|_p where FF is a nonzero polynomial with coefficients in the pp-adic numbers. Our result includes a power saving quantitative estimate of the decay rate rate of the equidistribution. As an application we show that Ih's Conjecture is true for a class of divisors of Gmn\mathbb G_m^n.
