Let T:C(Zp​,Qp​)→Qp​ be linear and invariant under translation by one. For any f, choose its continuous discrete antiderivative Jf. Then T(f)=T(ΔJf)=T(Jf(⋅+1))−T(Jf)=0. No continuity or boundedness of T is assumed. In particular this applies to a form invariant under every translation by a p-adic integer.
