Definition: For prime p, the ring Z_p consists of formal power series:
x = a₀ + a₁p + a₂p² + a₃p³ + ... where 0 ≤ aᵢ < p
Intuition: While real numbers use decimal expansions going right (1.234...), p-adic numbers expand to the left (...4321).
To find -1 in Z₇, we solve x ≡ -1 (mod 7ⁿ) for increasing n:
n=1: x ≡ 6 (mod 7)
n=2: x ≡ 6 + 6×7 = 48 (mod 49)
n=3: x ≡ 6 + 6×7 + 6×7² = 342 (mod 343)
Therefore: -1 = 6 + 6×7 + 6×7² + ... = ...666₇

x = libadic.Zp(7, 20, -1)
print(x.digits()) # [6, 6, 6, 6, 6, ...]Definition: For x ∈ Q_p with x = pᵛ × u (u unit):
v_p(x) = v (valuation)
|x|_p = p^(-v) (norm)
Key Property: The p-adic norm satisfies the strong triangle inequality:
|x + y|_p ≤ max(|x|_p, |y|_p)
with equality when |x|_p ≠ |y|_p.
# Example: Valuations and norms
p = 5
x = 250 # = 2 × 5³
v_5(250) = 3 # Highest power of 5 dividing 250
|250|_5 = 5^(-3) = 1/125
# In code:
x = libadic.Qp(5, 20, 250)
print(f"Valuation: {x.valuation}") # 3
print(f"Norm: {x.norm()}") # 0.008Construction: Q_p is the field of fractions of Z_p, equivalently:
Q_p = {pᵛ × u : v ∈ Z, u ∈ Z_p*}
To compute a/b in Q_p:
- Factor out p-powers: a = pᵃ × u_a, b = pᵇ × u_b
- Result: a/b = p^(α-β) × (u_a/u_b)
- Compute u_a/u_b using modular inverse in Z_p
Example: 10/15 in Q₅
10 = 5¹ × 2
15 = 5¹ × 3
10/15 = 5^(1-1) × (2/3) = 2/3 in Q₅
# Compute 2/3:
3⁻¹ ≡ 2 (mod 5) since 3×2 = 6 ≡ 1 (mod 5)
So 2/3 = 2×2 = 4 in Z₅
q = libadic.Qp.from_rational(10, 15, 5, 20)
print(f"10/15 in Q_5 = {q}")
print(f"Valuation: {q.valuation}") # 0
print(f"Unit: {q.unit.value}") # 4Theorem: Let f(x) ∈ Z_p[x] and suppose x₀ ∈ Z_p satisfies:
- f(x₀) ≡ 0 (mod p)
- f'(x₀) ≢ 0 (mod p)
Then there exists unique x ∈ Z_p with f(x) = 0 and x ≡ x₀ (mod p).
Algorithm (Newton-Hensel Lifting):
x_{n+1} = x_n - f(x_n)/f'(x_n) (computed in Z_p)
Find x with x² = 2 in Z₇:
- Start: x₀ = 3 since 3² ≡ 2 (mod 7)
- f(x) = x² - 2, f'(x) = 2x
- Iterate:
x₁ = 3 - (9-2)/(2×3) = 3 - 7/6 ≡ 3 + 7×6 = 45 (mod 49) x₂ = 45 - (2025-2)/(2×45) = ... (mod 343)

result = hensel_sqrt_2()A Dirichlet character χ modulo n is a homomorphism:
χ: (Z/nZ)* → C*
with χ(a) = 0 if gcd(a,n) > 1.
Fundamental Properties:
- Completely multiplicative: χ(ab) = χ(a)χ(b)
- Periodic: χ(a + n) = χ(a)
- Unit values: |χ(a)| = 1 for gcd(a,n) = 1
Theorem: The Dirichlet characters mod n form a group under pointwise multiplication, isomorphic to (Z/nZ)*.
For prime p: There are exactly φ(p) = p-1 characters mod p.
The group (Z/7Z)* is cyclic of order 6, generated by 3:
3¹ ≡ 3, 3² ≡ 2, 3³ ≡ 6, 3⁴ ≡ 4, 3⁵ ≡ 5, 3⁶ ≡ 1 (mod 7)
Each character χ is determined by χ(3) which must be a 6th root of unity:
χ₀: χ(3) = 1 (principal)
χ₁: χ(3) = e^(2πi/6) (order 6)
χ₂: χ(3) = e^(4πi/6) (order 3)
χ₃: χ(3) = e^(6πi/6) = -1 (order 2)
χ₄: χ(3) = e^(8πi/6) (order 3)
χ₅: χ(3) = e^(10πi/6) (order 6)

Proof sketch: Follows from the product formula by comparing terms.

Proof:
- Start with the product formula for Γ_p(x).
- Note that Γ_p(1-x) involves the product over complementary residues.
- The combined product equals ∏_{1≤k<p, (k,p)=1} k.
- By Wilson's theorem, this product ≡ -1 (mod p).
- The sign depends on parity considerations.
Theorem: If f(x₀) ≡ 0 (mod p) and f'(x₀) ≢ 0 (mod p), then ∃! x ∈ Z_p with f(x) = 0 and x ≡ x₀ (mod p).
Proof by Construction: Define sequence by Newton's method:
x_{n+1} = x_n - f(x_n)/f'(x_n)
Claim: x_n ≡ x_{n-1} (mod p^n) and f(x_n) ≡ 0 (mod p^{n+1}).
Proof by induction:
- Base: Given f(x₀) ≡ 0 (mod p).
- Step: If f(x_n) ≡ 0 (mod p^{n+1}), then
f(x_{n+1}) = f(x_n - f(x_n)/f'(x_n)) = f(x_n) - f(x_n) + O(f(x_n)²/f'(x_n)) ≡ 0 (mod p^{n+2})
The sequence {x_n} is Cauchy in Z_p, hence converges.
Theorem: For distinct characters χ₁, χ₂ mod n:
Σ_{a=1}^n χ₁(a)χ₂(a)* = 0
Proof: Let S = Σ_a χ₁(a)χ₂(a)*.
For any b with gcd(b,n) = 1:
χ₁(b)χ₂(b)* × S = Σ_a χ₁(ba)χ₂(ba)*
= Σ_c χ₁(c)χ₂(c)* = S
Since χ₁ ≠ χ₂, ∃b with χ₁(b) ≠ χ₂(b). Thus (χ₁(b)/χ₂(b) - 1) × S = 0, implying S = 0.
