A $p$-adic Second Main Theorem

Abstract

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, complete with respect to a non-archimedean absolute value $|\,|$. We establish a Second Main Theorem type estimate for analytic map $f\colon \mathbf{K}\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbf{K})$ and a family of $n$ hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbf{K})$ intersecting transversally and not all being hyperplanes. This implements the previous work of Levin where the case of all hypersurfaces having degree greater than one was studied.
