p-adic convergence without summable absolute values

ID: p-adic-convergence-without-summable-absolute-values

In a complete Non-Archimedean absolute value field, a series converges if and only if its terms tend to zero: the ultrametric inequality bounds every finite tail by its largest term. The displayed sequence tends to zero in . But each block contributes to the real sum of its p-adic absolute values, so that real sum diverges.
