p-adic

adj

p-adic

adj

Etymology From p + -adic. The letter p follows common number theory usage in representing an arbitrary prime number; the suffix -adic signals that properties of the number p (generally, those due to its being prime, and specifically those of a specified p) are fundamental to the theory and determine the properties of the resulting construction.

  • The theory of p-adic analytic functions in domains other than simple disks is not very well known yet, although such kind of functions happens to intervene in questions linked to p-adic functional analysis, number theory, and others.1995, Alain Escassut, Analytic Elements in P-adic Analysis, World Scientific, page v:
