Comprehensive documentation for the libadic p-adic arithmetic library with detailed explanations and examples
- BigInt - Arbitrary precision integers
- Zp - p-adic integers
- Qp - p-adic field elements
- DirichletCharacter - Modular characters
- Cyclotomic - Cyclotomic field elements
Purpose: Provides arbitrary precision integer arithmetic essential for p-adic computations where standard integers overflow.
Mathematical Context: In p-adic arithmetic, we often work with numbers having hundreds of digits. BigInt wraps GMP's mpz_t for efficient computation without precision loss.
import libadic
# Create large integers
x = libadic.BigInt("123456789012345678901234567890")
y = libadic.BigInt(2**100) # 2^100
# Arithmetic operations
z = x * y
print(f"Product: {z}")
print(f"Bit length: {z.to_string(2).__len__()}") # Binary representation
# Factorial of large numbers
n = libadic.BigInt(100)
fact = n.factorial()
print(f"100! = {fact}")
print(f"100! has {len(fact.to_string())} digits")
# Modular arithmetic (crucial for p-adic)

print(f"12345 * {inv} ≡ 1 (mod {p})")
assert (a * inv).mod_pn(1, p) == libadic.BigInt(1)
# GCD and primality
g = x.gcd(y)
print(f"gcd({x}, {y}) = {g}")factorial(): Computes n! efficiently using GMP's optimized algorithm.
- Use case: Computing Gamma function values Γ_p(n) = (-1)^n * (n-1)!_p
- Gotcha: Result grows exponentially; 100! has 158 digits
mod_inverse(modulus): Finds x such that self * x ≡ 1 (mod modulus)
- Mathematical: Uses Extended Euclidean Algorithm
- Requirement: gcd(self, modulus) must be 1
- p-adic use: Division in Z_p requires modular inverse
pow_mod(exp, modulus): Computes self^exp mod modulus
- Algorithm: Binary exponentiation O(log exp)
- Why needed: Direct computation would overflow for large exponents
- Example: Fermat's Little Theorem test: a^(p-1) ≡ 1 (mod p)
Purpose: Represents elements of the ring Z_p with finite precision tracking.
Mathematical Foundation: A p-adic integer is an infinite series:
x = a₀ + a₁p + a₂p² + ... where 0 ≤ aᵢ < p
We store this to finite precision N, meaning we know x modulo p^N.

mathematical_validations()This enhanced API reference provides:
- Complete working examples for every major class
- Mathematical context explaining why operations exist
- Common errors and solutions with actual code
- Performance considerations with benchmarks
- Cross-references between related functions
- Practical validation code for the Reid-Li criterion
The documentation now explains not just what functions do, but why they're needed and how to use them correctly in the context of p-adic arithmetic and the Reid-Li criterion.
