Hi all,
If Zp is the ring of p-adic integers, what does the notation a = b (mod pZp) mean ? I understand congruence in Zp, i.e., a = b (mod p) implies a = b +zp, where z is in Zp (and a, b in Zp). However, I don't get what is meant by (mod pZp) ... does this mean a = b (mod p^k) for all k >= 1 ?
Thanks,
P
