Abstract: We define a p-adic character to be a continuous homomorphism from 1 + tFqt to �p^*. We use the ring of big Witt vectors over Fq to exhibit a bijection between p-adic characters and sequences (c_i) of elements in Zq, indexed by natural numbers relatively prime to p, and which converge to zero p-adically. To such a p-adic character we associate an L-function, and we prove that this L-function is p-adic meromorphic if the corresponding sequence (c_i) is overconvergent. If more generally the sequence is clog-convergent, we show that the associated L-function is meromorphic in the open disk of radius q^c. Finally, we exhibit examples of clog-convergent sequences with associated L-functions which are not meromorphic in any disk of radius greater than q^c.
