\(p\)-adic hyperbolicity of the complement of hyperplanes in \(\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C}_p)\) (Q1267367)

A \(p\)-adic analytic space \(X\) is called \(p\)-adic Brody hyperbolic if each \(p\)-adic analytic map \(\mathbb C_p\to X\) is constant where \(\mathbb C_p\) denotes the completion of the algebraic closure of the field \(\mathbb Q_p\) of \(p\)-adic numbers. The present article studies the question which sets of the form \(\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C_p) - |{\mathcal H}|\) are \(p\)-adic Brody hyperbolic where \(\mathcal H\) is a set of hyperplanes in the \(n\)-dimensional projective space \(\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C_p)\) over \(\mathbb C_p\). The author's main result is as follows (Theorems 2.7 and 2.8): Let \(\mathcal L\) denote the set of linear forms which define the hyperplanes in \(\mathcal H\) and \(\langle{\mathcal L}\rangle\) the \(\mathbb C_p\)-vector space generated by \(\mathcal L\). Then \(\mathbb P^n(\mathbb C_p) - |{\mathcal H}|\) is \(p\)-adic Brody hyperbolic if and only if \(\dim_{\mathbb C_p} \langle{\mathcal L}\rangle = n+1\).
