Abstract
To every object $X$ of a symmetric tensor category over a field of characteristic $p>0$ we attach $p$-adic integers Dim$+(X)$ and Dim$-(X)$ whose reduction modulo $p$ is the categorical dimension dim$(X)$ of $X$, coinciding with the usual dimension when $X$ is a vector space. We study properties of Dim$\_{\pm}(X)$, and in particular show that they don't always coincide with each other, and can take any value in $\mathbb Z\_p$. We also discuss the connection of $p$-adic dimensions with the theory of $\lambda$-rings and Brauer characters.
