In [2], I constructed the p-adic q-integral on Zp. In this paper, we consider the properties of the p-adic invariant p-adic q-integral in the ring of p-adic integers at q=-1. Finally we give the some applications of p-adic q-integration at…

Using a result of recursive function theory and results of the complex analysis of Takeuti, which is based on a type theory and the work of Kreisel, and which gives a conservative extension of first order Peano arithmetic (PA), assuming all…

Building on work of J. Robinson and A. Shlapentokh, we develop a general framework to obtain definability and decidability results of large classes of infinite algebraic extensions of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$. As an application, we show that for…

Let $p>3$ be a prime number. We compute the rings of invariants of the elementary abelian $p$-group $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^r$ for $3$-dimensional generic representations. Furthermore we show that these rings of invariants are complete…

Given a quaternionic form G of a p-adic classical group (p odd) we classify all cuspidal irreducible representations of G with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from p. We prove two theorems: At…

For a prime $p$, let $E_{p,p^m}=\{\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\p^{m-1}c&d\end{pmatrix}|a,b,c\in\mathbb{Z}_{p},~\mathrm{and}~d\in \mathbb{Z}_{p^{m}}\}$. We first establish a ring isomorphism from $\mathrm{End}(\mathbb{Z}_p\times\mathbb{Z}_p^m)$ onto…

In the present article, we introduce beta-expansions in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of $p$-adic integers. We characterise the sets of numbers with eventually periodic and finite expansions.

Let $G$ be a finite group of order divisible by a prime $p$ and let $P\in\Syl_p(G)$. We prove a recent conjecture by Hung stating that $|\Irr_{p'}(G)|\geq \frac{\exp(P/P')-1}{p-1}+2\sqrt{p-1}-1.$ Let $a\geq 2$ be an integer and suppose that…

Let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication by the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field K. In 1991, by studying a certain special value of the Katz two-variable p-adic L-function lying outside the range of…

Let $p$ be a prime number. The $p$-power cyclic resultant of a polynomial is the determinant of the Sylvester matrix of $t^{p^n}-1$ and the polynomial. It is known that the sequence of $p$-power cyclic resultants and its non-$p$-parts…

Let $\hat\Z_p$ be the ring of $p$-adic integers. We prove in the present paper that the category of polynomial functors from finitely generated free abelian groups to $\hat \Z_p$-modules of degree at most $p$ is equivalent to the category…

Fix a prime $p$. We prove that the set of sentences true in all but finitely many finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is undecidable in the language of valued fields with a cross-section. The proof goes via reduction to characteristic $p$,…

Continued fraction expansions provide a well-established bridge between algebraic properties of numbers and combinatorics on words. In this article, we investigate the algebraicity of $p$-adic numbers whose continued fractions arise from…

For a fixed prime $p$, Murty and Saradha (2008) studied the transcendental nature of special values of the $p$-adic digamma function, denoted as $\psi_p(r/p)+ \gamma_p$. This research was later extended by Chatterjee and Gun in 2014, who…

For a prime $p$ and an integer $x$, the $p$-adic valuation of $x$ is denoted by $\nu_{p}(x)$. For a polynomial $Q$ with integer coefficients, the sequence of valuations $\nu_{p}(Q(n))$ is shown to be either periodic or unbounded. The first…

We prove a strengthened form of a conjecture of Sun on a determinant attached to a binary quadratic form. Let $n>3$ and let $c,d\in\Z$. If $n$ is composite, then \[ \det\big[(i^2+cij+dj^2)^{n-2}\big]_{0\leq i,j\leq n-1}\equiv 0\pmod {n^2}…

We show that the higher Pythagoras numbers for the polynomial ring are infinite $p_{2s}(K[x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n])=\infty$ provided that $K$ is a formally real field, $n\geq2$ and $s\geq 1$. This almost fully solves an old question \cite[Problem…

In 2020, Cossu and Zanardo raised a conjecture on the idempotent factorization on singular matrices in the form $\begin{pmatrix} p&z\\ \bar{z}&\sfrac{\lVert z\rVert}{p} \end{pmatrix},$ where $p$ is a prime integer which is irreducible but…

This is an expository paper aiming to introduce Zilber's Exponential Closedness conjecture to a general audience. Exponential Closedness predicts when (systems of) equations involving addition, multiplication, and exponentiation have…

Let f(n)= Sum binomial(n,k)^(-1). First, we show that f:N to Q_p is nowhere continuous in the p-adic topology. If x is a p-adic integer, we say that f(x) is p-definable if lim f(x_j) exists in Q_p, where x_j denotes the jth partial sum for…
