Review text

Certain \(p\)-adic power series, their domain of convergence, and the problem as to whether the sum is rational for some rational value of the variable, are discussed. Examples of such series are given. In the introduction the connection with \(p\)-adic quantum field theory is explained. Note of the reviewer: In section 5 of the paper it is stated that \(\sum n!\) cannot be rational in every \(\mathbb{Q}_p\) \((p\) prime). However, according to the quoted reference, it is only known that the sum cannot be rational in every \(\mathbb{Q}_n\) \((n \in \mathbb{N},\;n \geq 2)\).
