In this paper we construct a natural category ~r of locally and topologically ringed spaces which contains both the category of locally noetherian formal schemes and the category of rigid analytic varieties as full subcategories. This category has applications in algebraic geometry and rigid analytic geometry. The idea of the definition of the category ~r is the following. From a formal point o...

Let p be a fixed prime. Throughout this paper Zp, Qp, C and Cp will, respectively, denote the ring of p-adic rational integers, the field of p-adic rational numbers, the complex number field and the completion of algebraic closure of Qp, cf.[1, 4, 6, 10]. Let vp be the normalized exponential valuation of Cp with |p|p = p −vp(p) = p. When one talks of q-extension, q is variously considered as an...

Throughout this paper we use the following notations. By Zp we denote the ring of p-adic rational integers, Q denotes the field of rational numbers, Qp denotes the field of p-adic rational numbers, C denotes the complex number field, and Cp denotes the completion of algebraic closure of Qp. Let νp be the normalized exponential valuation of Cp with |p|p = p−νp(p) = p−1. When one talks of q-exten...

Lengyel introduced a sequence of numbers Zn, defined combinatorially, that satisfy a recurrence where the coefficients are Stirling numbers of the second kind. He proved some 2-adic properties of these numbers. In this paper, we give another recurrence for the sequence Zn, where the coefficients are Stirling numbers of the first kind. Using this formula, we give another proof of Lengyel’s lower...

Let vp be the normalized exponential valuation of Cp such that |p|p = p −vp(p) = p. If q ∈ Cp, we normally assu...

Let K be a p-adic field and let f be a K-analytic function on an open and compact subset of K3. Let R be the valuation ring of K and let χ be an arbitrary character of R×. Let Zf,χ(s) be Igusa’s p-adic zeta function. In this paper, we prove a vanishing result for candidate poles of Zf,χ(s). This result implies that Zf,χ(s) has no pole with real part less than −1 if f has no point of multiplicit...
