Abstract

For A ⊆ N, the question of when R(A) = {a/a0 : a, a0 ∈ A} is dense in the positive real numbers R+ has been examined by many authors over the years. In contrast, the p-adic setting is largely unexplored. We investigate conditions under which R(A) is dense in the p-adic numbers. Techniques from elementary, algebraic, and analytic number theory are employed in this endeavor. We also pose many open questions that should be of general interest.
