Abstract

We define and study a pp-adic analogue of the incomplete gamma function related to Morita's pp-adic gamma function. We also discuss a combinatorial identity related to the Artin-Hasse series, which is a special case of the exponential principle in combinatorics. From this we deduce a curious pp-adic property of Hom(G,Sn)|\mathrm{Hom} (G,S_n)| for a topologically finitely generated group GG, using a characterization of pp-adic continuity for certain functions f ⁣:Z>0Qpf \colon \mathbb Z_{>0} \to \mathbb Q_p due to O'Desky-Richman. In the end, we give an exposition of some standard properties of the Artin-Hasse series.
