$p$-adic Hahn series with sparse support

Number Theory 2026-07-08 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Let pp be a prime number. We introduce a sparseness condition on the supports of pp-adic Hahn series, and prove that this condition implies transcendence over Q˘p\breve{\mathbf Q}_p, the completed maximal unramified extension of Qp\mathbf{Q}_p. As an application, we prove the order-type conjecture of Qp\mathbf{Q}_p-algebraic pp-adic Hahn series with bounded support under the condition that the support has only finitely many accumulation points. All results in this paper have been fully formalized in the Lean theorem prover (v 4.31.0), building over Mathlib.
