Properness of the p-adic numbers #
In this file, we prove that ℤ_[p] is totally bounded and compact,
and that ℚ_[p] is proper.
Main results #
PadicInt.totallyBounded_univ: The set of p-adic integersℤ_[p]is totally bounded.PadicInt.compactSpace: The set of p-adic integersℤ_[p]is a compact topological space.Padic.instProperSpace: The field of p-adic numbersℚ_[p]is a proper metric space.
Notation #
p: Is a natural prime.
