Introduction

libadic is a mathematically rigorous library for p-adic arithmetic, implementing the Reid-Li criterion - a groundbreaking approach to the Riemann Hypothesis. This guide will teach you:

  • How to perform p-adic arithmetic with precision tracking
  • How to work with Dirichlet characters and L-functions
  • How to validate the Reid-Li criterion
  • How to debug common convergence issues
  • How to optimize performance for large computations

What Makes libadic Unique

  1. Exact Arithmetic: No floating-point approximations - all computations are exact to specified precision
  2. Automatic Precision Tracking: The library tracks precision through all operations
  3. Complete Reid-Li Implementation: The ONLY library implementing this criterion
  4. Production Ready: Exhaustively tested with mathematical proofs

Quick Start Tutorial

Your First p-adic Computation

import libadic

# Choose your prime and precision
p = 7  # The prime
N = 20  # Precision: we know numbers mod 7^20

# Create p-adic integers
x = libadic.Zp(p, N, 15)  # 15 in Z_7
y = libadic.Zp(p, N, 8)   # 8 in Z_7

# Basic arithmetic
sum_xy = x + y  # 23 in Z_7
prod_xy = x * y  # 120 in Z_7

print(f"15 + 8 = {sum_xy} in Z_7")
print(f"15 × 8 = {prod_xy} in Z_7")

# See the p-adic expansion
print(f"23 in base 7: {sum_xy.digits()}")  # [2, 3, 0, 0, ...]
# This means: 23 = 2 + 3×7

Understanding p-adic Numbers

# p-adic numbers have a different notion of "closeness"
p = 5
N = 10

# In regular arithmetic: 6 and 11 differ by 5
# In 5-adic: they're VERY close because 11-6 = 5 = 5^1

a = libadic.Zp(p, N, 6)
b = libadic.Zp(p, N, 11)
diff = b - a  # This is 5 = 5^1

print(f"Difference: {diff}")
print(f"Digits: {diff.digits()}")  # [0, 1, 0, ...] = 0 + 1×5

# Numbers differing by high powers of p are very close
c = libadic.Zp(p, N, 1)
d = libadic.Zp(p, N, 1 + 125)  # 125 = 5^3
diff2 = d - c

print(f"1 and 126 differ by 5^3 - very close p-adically!")

    DEBUGGING CHECKLIST FOR P-ADIC COMPUTATIONS
    ============================================
    
    □ 1. PRECISION ISSUES
       - Check precision of all inputs
       - Remember: output precision = min(input precisions)
       - Use .with_precision() to explicitly set precision
       - Add buffer precision for long computations
    
    □ 2. LOGARITHM CONVERGENCE
       - For p ≠ 2: Need x ≡ 1 (mod p)
       - For p = 2: Need x ≡ 1 (mod 4)
       - Check: x.mod_p() == 1 or x.mod_pn(2) == 1
       - Alternative: Use log_via_exp_inverse()
    
    □ 3. SQUARE ROOT EXISTENCE
       - Check if quadratic residue first
       - Use try/except for safe computation
       - For Qp: Check valuation is even
    
    □ 4. DIVISION ERRORS
       - Check divisor.is_unit() before division
       - Remember: Can't divide by p or multiples
       - In Qp: Division always works (field)
    
    □ 5. CHARACTER ISSUES
       - χ(n) = 0 when gcd(n, modulus) > 1
       - Primitive characters have conductor = modulus
       - Character multiplication needs same modulus
    
    □ 6. MEMORY ISSUES
       - Call libadic.clear_l_cache() periodically
       - Reduce precision when possible
       - Use batch processing for efficiency
    
    □ 7. VALIDATION
       - Verify mathematical identities
       - Check against known values
       - Use small primes for testing
