Let α be an irrational p-adic number, r an arbitrary positive integer. Our aim is to prove that there exists a rational integer X satisfyingsuch that every possible sequence of r digits 0, 1, …, p – 1 occurs infinitely often in the canonical p-adic series for Xα. It is clear that it suffices to prove this result for p-adic integers.

Let F denote the Galois field GF(pr) with pr elements, where p is an odd prime and r is a positive integer. Suppose further that m and n are arbitrary elements of F and that αi, βi pt (i = 1, …, s) are nonzero elements of F. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the function Ns(m, n), defined, for an arbitrary positive integer s, to be the number of simultaneous solutions in F of the equations1.1.

For any positive integers n and v letwhere d runs through all the positive divisors of n. For each positive integer k and real x > 1, denote by N(v, k; x) the number of positive integers n ≦ x for which σv(n) is not divisible by k. Then Watson [6] has shown that, when v is odd,as x → ∞; it is assumed here and throughout that v and k are fixed and independent of x. It follows, in particular, that σ (n) is almost always divisible by k. A brief account of the ideas used by Watson will be found in § 10.6 of Hardy's book on Ramanujan [2].

This paper is concerned with the numbers which are relatively prime to a given positive integerwhere the p's are the distinct prime factors of n. Since these numbers recur periodically with period n, it suffices to study the ϕ(n) numbers ≤n and relatively prime to n.

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

The Ideal

Let $ R $ be an integral domain and $ \alpha $ an anti-integral element of degree $ d $ over $ R $. In the paper [3] we give a condition for $ \alpha^2-a$ to be a unit of $ R[\alpha] $. In this paper we will generalize the result to an arbitrary positive integer $n$ and give a condition, in terms of the ideal $ I_{[\alpha]}^{n}D(\sqrt[n]{a}) $ of $ R $, for $ \alpha^{n}-a$ to be a unit of $ R[\alpha] $.

Let n be a positive integer and put N = {1, 2, . . . , n}. A collection {S1, S2, . . . , St} of subsets of N is called determining if, for any T ⊂ N, the cardinalities of the t intersections T ∩ Sj determine T uniquely. Let €1, €2, . . . , €n be n variables with range {0, 1}. It is clear that a determining collection {Sj) has the property that the sums

Let A be a matrix of finite order n and finite degree d, whose characteristic roots are certain nth roots of unity a1, a2…, ad. We wish to prove a congruence (6) between the traces (tr) of certain powers of A, which is suggested by two somewhat simpler congruences (1) and (3). First, if tr (A) is a rational integer, it is easy to establish the familiar congruenceeven though tr(Ap) may not itself be rational.

The following note which deals with the effect of a certain determinantal operator when it acts upon a product of determinants was suggested by the original proof which Dr. Alfred Young gave of the propertysubsisting between the positive P and the negative N substitutional operators, θ being a positive integer. This result which establishes the idempotency of the expression θ−1NP within an appropriate algebra is fundamental in the Quantitative Substitutional Analysis that Young developed.
