Abstract:

We define ${G_p}$, a p-adic analog of the classical log gamma function and show it satisfies relations similar to the standard formulas for log gamma. We also define p-adic Euler constants and use them to obtain results on $G{’_p}$ and on the logarithmic derivative of Morita’s ${\Gamma _p}$.
