Let \(K\) be a complete ultrametric algebraically closed field. The authors consider the set \(M\) of meromorphic products \(\prod_n\frac{x-a_n}{x-b_n}\) over \(K\), where the sequences \(\{a_n\},\{b_n\}\), \(|a_n|<1\), \(|b_n|<1\), are either finite or such that \(\lim_{n\to \infty}|a_n|=\lim_{n\to \infty}|b_n|\), \(\lim_{n\to \infty}(a_n-b_n)=0\). A multiplicative mapping \(M\to [0,\infty)\) is constructed defining an ultrametric distance on \(M\) that makes it a topological group. A description of the group \(M^\wedge\) of \(K\)-valued characters of \(M\) is given. Let \(D=\{x\in K:\;|x|\geq 1\}\), and let \(G\) be the multiplicative group of invertible elements \(f\in H(D)\), such that \(f(x)\to 1\) as \(|x|\to \infty\). It is shown that \(G\) is isomorphic to \(M/\mathcal H\) where \(\mathcal H\) is the subset of \(M\) consisting of meromorphic products equal to 1 on \(D\). A description of \(G^\wedge\) is given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00037].
