Abstract
This paper is devoted to the study of the arithmetic properties of values of G-functions introduced by Siegel [Siegel, C. L. (1929) Abh. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Phys.-Math. Kl. 1]. One of the main results is a theorem on the linear independence of values of G-functions at rational points close to the origin. In this theorem, no conditions are imposed on the p-adic convergence of a G-function at a generic point. The theorem finally realizes Siegel's program on G-function values outlined in his paper.
Keywords: G-functions, Padé approximations
