Abstract

In this article, we study the Euler's factorial series Fp(t)=n=0n!tnF_p(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty n!t^n in pp-adic domain under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. First, we show that if we consider primes in kφ(m)/(k+1)k\varphi(m)/(k+1) residue classes in the reduced residue system modulo mm, then under certain explicit extra conditions we must have λ0+λ1Fp(α1)++λkFp(αk)0\lambda_0+\lambda_1F_p(\alpha_1)+\ldots+\lambda_kF_p(\alpha_k) \neq 0 for at least one such prime. We also prove an explicit pp-adic lower bound for the previous linear form. Secondly, we consider the case where we take primes in arithmetic progressions from more than kφ(m)/(k+1)k\varphi(m)/(k+1) residue classes. Then there is an infinite collection of intervals each containing at least one prime which is in those arithmetic progressions and for which we have λ0+λ1Fp(α1)++λkFp(αk)0\lambda_0+\lambda_1F_p(\alpha_1)+\ldots+\lambda_kF_p(\alpha_k) \neq 0. We also derive an explicit pp-adic lower bound for the previous linear form.
