Abstract
Our goal is to give a formula representing the Bernoulli numbers by \(p\)-adic distributions. We consider \(p\)-adic distributions on the ring of \(p\)-adic integers which are invariant by rotations around the origin, and define a generalization of the Vokenborn integrals with respect to such distributions. It is shown the generalized Volkenborn integrals of power functions, and of negative powers of the \(p\)-adic norm converge under some conditions on the distributions, and their universal relation to the Bernoulli numbers is presented.
