Let G be the group of integers of a p-series field. A class {E(θ)} of perfect null subsets of G is introduced and classified into M-sets and U-sets according to the arithmetical nature of the field element θ. This is analogous to the well-known classification, involving Pisot numbers, of certain Cantor sets on the circle.
