Let p be a rational prime and Qp be the field of p–adic numbers. Jean-Pierre Serre [Lecture Notes in Mathematics, 350, 191–268 (1973)] had defined p–adic modular forms as the limits of sequences of modular forms over the modular group SL2(Z). He proved that with each non-zero p–adic modular form there is associated a unique element called its weight k. The p–adic modular forms having the same weight form a Qp–vector space.

The object of this paper is to obtain a basis of p–adic modular forms and thus to know precisely all p–adic modular forms of a given weight k. The dimension of such modular forms as a Qp–vector space is countably infinite.
