Properties of p-adic C^k Distributions

2013, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Mathematics.
Distributions of $C^k$ functions over $\ZP$ have been characterized using formal power series by Amice. These characterizations allow us to find a sharp bound on the growth of $C^k$ distributions. In the case of $C^1$ distributions it is shown that two distributions that agree on the functions of the form $\chi_{a+p^n\ZP}$ have Fourier Transforms that differ by the product of the logarithm and the Fourier Transform of a measure.

The development of a Radon-Nikodym derivative is established for $C^1$ distributions under certain restrictions. This gives a result that is similar to a Lebesgue decomposition. This generalizes a theorem of Barbacioru.
