Roots of unity in a p-adic field Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The roots of unity in a finite extension form a finite group. Each element of their prime-to- part is a Teichmuller representative, while any -power part lies among the principal units.
p-adic unit Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A p-adic unit is an invertible element of the ring . For a p-adic integer , this is equivalent to , , or a nonzero initial p-adic digit . A rational number is a p-adic unit when neither its reduced numerator nor its denominator is divisible by .
Thus and are p-adic units at , while is a p-adic integer with no inverse inside . The modular inversion converges to a p-adic inverse construction computes the inverse of an integer unit to arbitrary finite precision.

For a finite extension of non-Archimedean local fields, the ramification index is the index of the value group of in that of . Normalized valuations satisfy .
Newton polygon Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
The Newton polygon of a polynomial over a valued field is the lower convex hull of the points formed from coefficient indices and valuations. Its slopes determine the valuations of roots, counted with multiplicity.
Eisenstein polynomial Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For a discrete valuation ring with uniformizer , an Eisenstein polynomial is a monic polynomial whose nonleading coefficients are divisible by and whose constant coefficient is not divisible by . It is irreducible, and adjoining one of its roots gives a totally ramified extension.
Unramified extension Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A finite extension of local fields is unramified when its ramification index is one and its residue-field degree equals the field degree. A local field has a unique unramified extension of each positive degree inside a fixed algebraic closure.
Teichmuller representative Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
The Teichmuller representative of a nonzero residue class is the unique lift satisfying and modulo the maximal ideal.
p-adic logarithm Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
The -adic logarithm is the convergent series on a sufficiently small group of principal units.
It is locally inverse to the p-adic exponential function.
Laurent series field Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-07
The Laurent series field consists of formal series with finitely many negative-degree terms. Its -adic valuation is the least exponent with nonzero coefficient.
Lipschitz bound Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A Lipschitz bound is any valid inequality of the displayed form with a finite constant . It need not use the least Lipschitz constant. For , both and are valid, but fails. The tighter bound gives a sharper error estimate: input error at most guarantees output error at most using , compared with the valid but weaker using . The bound constrains errors; it does not state that every pair achieves that amplification.
Entire function under a horizontal inverse-square-root bound Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If an entire function satisfies away from the imaginary axis, then . Cauchy's formula on bounds every Taylor coefficient by a constant times
which tends to zero as .
Dense image of a nonconstant entire function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The image of every nonconstant entire function is dense in . If a disc about were omitted, then would be bounded and entire, so Liouville's theorem would make constant.
Riccati equation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
A Riccati equation is a first-order equation quadratic in the unknown function.
Transcendental subseries of a positive rational convergent series Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Every convergent series of positive rational terms has a subseries whose rational partial sums satisfy
Choose each new term small enough to enforce all previous tail bounds. Separation of reduced fractions first makes irrational, and the Liouville approximation theorem then rules out every finite algebraic degree.
