m-adic topology is a way of defining a topology on the set of m-adic integers or on a ring of integers with respect to a prime ideal m. It is based on the concept of convergence of sequences and allows for a deeper understanding of completeness and local properties of rings. This topology plays a crucial role in analyzing the behavior of rings and their completion, particularly when considering the completeness properties that arise in the context of algebraic structures.
congrats on reading the definition of m-adic topology. now let's actually learn it.
