A dynamical construction of small totally p-adic algebraic numbers

Explicit construction of the p-adic numbers

On Fields of Totally S-adic Numbers

Given a finite set S of places of a number field, we prove that the field of totally S-adic algebraic numbers is not Hilbertian. The field of totally real algebraic numbers Qtr, the field of totally p-adic algebraic numbers Qtot,p, and, more generally, fields of totally S-adic algebraic numbers Qtot,S, where S is a finite set of places of Q, play an important role in number theory and Galois th...

Quadratic Maps as Dynamical Systems on the P-adic Numbers

Computable p–adic Numbers

In the present work the notion of the computable (primitive recursive, polynomially time computable) p–adic number is introduced and studied. Basic properties of these numbers and the set of indices representing them are established and it is proved that the above defined fields are p–adically closed. Using the notion of a notation system introduced by Y. Moschovakis an abstract characterizatio...

Notes on p-adic numbers

as one can check using induction on l. The usual absolute value function |x| satisfies these conditions with the ordinary triangle inequality (4). If N(x) = 0 when x = 0 and N(x) = 1 when x 6= 0, then N(x) satisfies these conditions with the ultrametric version of the triangle inequality. For each prime number p, the p-adic absolute value of a rational number x is denoted |x|p and defined by |x...
