2.3. Affinoid algebras

Affinoid algebras is a special kind of kk-Banach algebras possessing good finiteness properties. These features allows one to endow a locally ringed space structure on their Berkovich spectra, namely the affinoid spaces. As a consequence, the Banach algebra norm of an affinoid algebra is equivalent to its spectral seminorm whenever the later is actually a norm.

2.3.1. Basic constructions

Affinoid algebras are kk-Banach algebras that are quotient algebras of Tate algebras. Among them are strict affinoid algebras which have good finiteness properties such as Noetherianity. Some good properties pass to general affinoid algebra by a technique enlarging the base valued field which makes the affinoid algebra strict.

Definition 2.38. For a multi-radius ๐’“=(r1,โ€ฆ,rn)โˆˆโ„n\boldsymbol{r}=(r_{1},\dots,r_{n})\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, the algebra

k{r1โˆ’1T1,โ€ฆ,rnโˆ’1Tn}={f=โˆ‘Jโˆˆโ„•nโˆžaJ๐‘ปJ:aJโˆˆk,|aJ|๐’“Jโ†’0ย asย |J|โ†’โˆž}k\{r_{1}^{-1}T_{1},\dots,r_{n}^{-1}T_{n}\}=\{f=\sum_{J\in\mathbb{N}^{n}}^{\infty}a_{J}\boldsymbol{T}^{J}:a_{J}\in k,\lvert a_{J}\rvert\boldsymbol{r}^{J}\to 0\text{ as }|J|\to\infty\}

is called the Tate algebra over kk with multi-radius ๐’“\boldsymbol{r}. Denote it by ๐’ฏnโ€‹(๐’“)\mathcal{T}_{n}(\boldsymbol{r}). It is a kk-Banach algebra with respect to the Gauss norm of multi-radius ๐ซ\boldsymbol{r} defined by

โฆ€fโฆ€๐’ฏnโ€‹(๐’“)=maxJ|aJ|๐’“J\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}(\boldsymbol{r})}=\max_{J}\lvert a_{J}\rvert\boldsymbol{r}^{J}

One can define Tate algebra over other complete ultra-metric valued fields.

00IB

Remark 2.39. This Gauss norm is obviously sub-multiplicative. It is in fact multiplicative by an argument as in the proof of Gauss Lemma.

00IC

Definition 2.40. A kk-Banach algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A} is called an affinoid algebra if there exists an admissible surjective homomorphism from some Tate algebra kโ€‹{๐’“โˆ’1โ€‹๐‘ป}k\{\boldsymbol{r}^{-1}\boldsymbol{T}\} to ๐’œ\mathcal{A}. The Banach algebra norm on an affinoid algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A} is called an affinoid algebra norm. If one can take ๐’“\boldsymbol{r} with ri=1r_{i}=1 for all iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,n}i\in\{1,\dots,n\}, then ๐’œ\mathcal{A} is called a strict affinoid algebra. One may define affinoid algebra similarly over other complete ultrametric valued field.

00ID

Remark 2.41. An affinoid algebra norm and the quotient algebra norm of Gauss algebra norm by the defining admissible surjective homomorphism are just equivalent but not necessarily equal.

One can construct new affinoid algebras out of old ones by various algebraic operations.

00IE

Example 2.42. The quotient Banach algebra of an affinoid algebra is an affinoid algebra.

00IF

Proposition 2.43. Let ๐’ž\mathcal{C} be a kk-Banach algebra which is finite over an affinoid algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, then ๐’ž\mathcal{C} itself is an affinoid algebra. If ๐’œ\mathcal{A} is strict, then ๐’ž\mathcal{C} is strict.

00IG

Proof. Let {ci}iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,m}โŠ‚๐’ž\{c_{i}\}_{i\in\{1,\dots,m\}}\subset\mathcal{C} be a finite set of generators of ๐’ž\mathcal{C} over ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, then consider an ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-Tate algebra ๐’œโ€‹{๐’“โˆ’1โ€‹๐‘ป}\mathcal{A}\{\boldsymbol{r}^{-1}\boldsymbol{T}\} where riโ‰ฅโฆ€ciโฆ€๐’žr_{i}\geq\vvvert c_{i}\vvvert_{\mathcal{C}}. There is a surjective kk-algebra homomorphism defined by

ฮณ:๐’œ{๐’“โˆ’1๐‘ป}โ†’๐’ž,ย Tiโ†ฆci\gamma:\mathcal{A}\{\boldsymbol{r}^{-1}\boldsymbol{T}\}\to\mathcal{C},\text{ }T_{i}\mapsto c_{i}

which is bounded as there exists C>0C>0 such that

โฆ€ฮณ(โˆ‘JaJ๐‘ปJ)โฆ€๐’žโ‰คmaxJโˆˆโ„•mโฆ€aJ๐’„Jโฆ€๐’žโ‰คCmaxJโˆˆโ„•mโฆ€aJโฆ€๐’œโ‹…๐’“J\vvvert\gamma(\sum_{J}a_{J}\boldsymbol{T}^{J})\vvvert_{\mathcal{C}}\leq\max_{J\in\mathbb{N}^{m}}\vvvert a_{J}\boldsymbol{c}^{J}\vvvert_{\mathcal{C}}\leq C\max_{J\in\mathbb{N}^{m}}\vvvert a_{J}\vvvert_{\mathcal{A}}\cdot\boldsymbol{r}^{J}

By Corollary 2.5, ฮณ\gamma is admissible, the norm โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€๐’ž\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{C}} is equivalent to the quotient norm of the ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-Tate norm. Hence ๐’ž\mathcal{C} is an affinoid algebra. The strictness is obtained by choosing riโˆˆ|kร—|r_{i}\in\lvert k^{\times}\rvert (see Lemma 2.47). โˆŽ

00IH

Proposition 2.44. Let โ„ฌ\mathcal{B} be a Banach kk-algebra. Suppose that there exists a finitely generated kk-algebra AA which is dense in โ„ฌ\mathcal{B}, then there exists an affinoid algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A} in which AA is a dense kk-sub-algebra and a homomorphism of Banach kk-algebras ๐’œโ†’โ„ฌ\mathcal{A}\rightarrow\mathcal{B} which extends the identiy homomorphism on AA.

00II

Proof. Let {ai}iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,m}\{a_{i}\}_{i\in\{1,\dots,m\}} be a set of generators of AA. For each iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,m}i\in\{1,\dots,m\}, let rir_{i} denote โฆ€aiโฆ€โ„ฌ\vvvert a_{i}\vvvert_{\mathcal{B}} and let ๐’“\boldsymbol{r} denote the multi-radius consisting of {ri}iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,m}\{r_{i}\}_{i\in\{1,\dots,m\}}. Consider the Tate algebra ๐’ฏ๐’“\mathcal{T}_{\boldsymbol{r}} and the homomorphism of kk-algebras

kโก[T1,โ€ฆ,Tm]โ†’โ„ฌ,Tiโ†ฆaik[T_{1},\dots,T_{m}]\rightarrow\mathcal{B},\quad T_{i}\mapsto a_{i}

By the ultra-metricity of โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€โ„ฌ\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{B}} and the definition of ๐’“\boldsymbol{r}, one has

โˆ€nโˆˆโ„•,โˆ€Jโˆˆโ„•m,โˆ€fJโˆˆk,โฆ€โˆ‘Jโˆˆโ„•mfJโ‹…๐’‚Jโฆ€โ„ฌโ‰คโฆ€โˆ‘Jโˆˆโ„•mfJโ‹…๐’‚Jโฆ€๐’ฏ๐’“\forall n\in\mathbb{N},\forall J\in\mathbb{N}^{m},\forall f_{J}\in k,\vvvert\sum_{J\in\mathbb{N}^{m}}f_{J}\cdot\boldsymbol{a}^{J}\vvvert_{\mathcal{B}}\leq\vvvert\sum_{J\in\mathbb{N}^{m}}f_{J}\cdot\boldsymbol{a}^{J}\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{\boldsymbol{r}}}

so by a density argument one can extend it to a homomorphism of Banach kk-algebras

๐’ฏ๐’“โ†’โ„ฌ,Tiโ†ฆfi\mathcal{T}_{\boldsymbol{r}}\rightarrow\mathcal{B},\quad T_{i}\mapsto f_{i}

Let โ„\mathscr{I} be the kernel ideal of this homomorphism. To conclude it suffices to take ๐’œ\mathcal{A} as ๐’ฏ๐’“/โ„\mathcal{T}_{\boldsymbol{r}}/\mathscr{I}. โˆŽ

00IJ

Proposition 2.45. Let (B,โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€)(B,\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert) be a normed algebra and let โ„ฌ\mathcal{B} be its separated completion. Let AA be a sub-kk-algebra of BB, equipped with the restriction algebra norm of โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert, and let ๐’œ\mathcal{A} be the separated completion of (A,โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€)(A,\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert). Assume that ๐’œ\mathcal{A} is an affinoid algebra. If BB is integral and is finite over AA, then โ„ฌ\mathcal{B} is Banach finite over ๐’œ\mathcal{A}. Therefore โ„ฌ\mathcal{B} is an affinoid algebra.

00IK

Proof. By assumption, there exists jโˆˆโ„•j\in\mathbb{N} and a homomorphism of kk-algebras and elements {ei}iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}โІB\{e_{i}\}_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}\subseteq B such that

F:โจiโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}Aโ†’B,1iโ†ฆeiF:\bigoplus_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}A\rightarrow B,1_{i}\mapsto e_{i}

Moreover, FF is bounded

โฆ€โˆ‘iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}aiโ‹…eiโฆ€โ‰คmaxiโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}โฆ€aiโ‹…eiโฆ€โ‰คmaxiโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}โฆ€eiโฆ€โ‹…maxiโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}โฆ€aiโฆ€\vvvert\sum_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}a_{i}\cdot e_{i}\vvvert\leq\max_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}\vvvert a_{i}\cdot e_{i}\vvvert\leq\max_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}\vvvert e_{i}\vvvert\cdot\max_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}\vvvert a_{i}\vvvert

So FF extends to a homomorphism of Banach ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-modules

โ„ฑ:โจiโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,j}๐’œโ†’โ„ฌ,1iโ†ฆei\mathcal{F}:\bigoplus_{i\in\{1,\dots,j\}}\mathcal{A}\rightarrow\mathcal{B},1_{i}\mapsto e_{i}

Let โ„ฌโˆ’\mathcal{B}^{-} be the image of โ„ฑ\mathcal{F}, it is a Banach finite ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-module with the quotient norm โˆฅโ‹…โˆฅโ„ฑ\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{\mathcal{F}} induced by โ„ฑ\mathcal{F}. As โ„ฌโˆ’\mathcal{B}^{-} is Banach finite over ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, it is an affinoid algebra with an affinoid algebra spectral norm โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€โˆ’\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert^{-}, which is equivalent to โˆฅโ‹…โˆฅโ„ฑ\lVert\mathord{\cdot}\rVert_{\mathcal{F}}. Now on โ„ฌโˆ’\mathcal{B}^{-}, โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert is bounded with respect to โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€โˆ’\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert^{-} by the continuity of โ„ฑ\mathcal{F}. To show the reverse, note that โ„ฌโˆ’\mathcal{B}^{-} is dense in โ„ฌ\mathcal{B}, so by Theorem 2.30 one has for any bโˆˆโ„ฌโˆ’b\in\mathcal{B}^{-}

โฆ€bโฆ€โˆ’=maxzโˆˆ๐”โก(โ„ฌโˆ’)|b(z)|=maxzโˆˆ๐”โก(โ„ฌ)|b(z)|=โฆ€bโฆ€spโ‰คโฆ€bโฆ€\vvvert b\vvvert^{-}=\max_{z\in\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{B}^{-})}\lvert b(z)\rvert=\max_{z\in\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{B})}\lvert b(z)\rvert=\vvvert b\vvvert_{\mathrm{sp}}\leq\vvvert b\vvvert

Therefore โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert and โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€โˆ’\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert^{-} are equivalent norms on โ„ฌโˆ’\mathcal{B}^{-}, so โ„ฌโˆ’\mathcal{B}^{-} is closed in โ„ฌ\mathcal{B}, hence coincides with it. โˆŽ

To make an affinoid algebra strict, one can enlarge the base field.

00IL

Lemma 2.46. Let ๐’“=(r1,โ€ฆ,rn)\boldsymbol{r}=(r_{1},\dots,r_{n}) be a multi-radius such {ฮฑโก(logโกri)}iโˆˆ{1,โ€ฆ,n}\{\alpha(\log r_{i})\}_{i\in\{1,\dots,n\}} are โ„š\mathbb{Q}-linearly independent. Then the kk-affinoid algebra

K๐’“:=kโก{๐’“โˆ’1โ€‹๐‘ป,๐’“โ€‹๐‘ปโˆ’1}=kโก{๐’“โˆ’1โ€‹๐‘ป,๐’“โ€‹๐‘บ}/(T1โ€‹S1โˆ’1,โ€ฆ,Tnโ€‹Snโˆ’1)K_{\boldsymbol{r}}:=k\{\boldsymbol{r}^{-1}\boldsymbol{T},\boldsymbol{r}\boldsymbol{T}^{-1}\}=k\{\boldsymbol{r}^{-1}\boldsymbol{T},\boldsymbol{r}\boldsymbol{S}\}/(T_{1}S_{1}-1,\dots,T_{n}S_{n}-1)

is a field. ([Ber, Definition 2.1.1])

00IM

Lemma 2.47. Let ๐’ฏnโ€‹(๐’“)\mathcal{T}_{n}(\boldsymbol{r}) be a kk-Tate alegbra. It is strict if and only if riโˆˆ|kร—|r_{i}\in\sqrt{\lvert k^{\times}\rvert} for all ii. ([Ber, Corollary 2.1.6])

00IN

Corollary 2.48. Let ๐’ฏnโ€‹(rยฏ)\mathcal{T}_{n}(\underline{r}) be a kk-Tate alegbra. Let IโІ{1,โ€ฆ,n}I\subseteq\{1,\dots,n\} be a subset of indices such that {ฮฑโก(logโกri)}iโˆˆI\{\alpha(\log r_{i})\}_{i\in I} are โ„š\mathbb{Q}-linearly independent and |I||I| is maximal for this independence property. Let ๐’“I=(ri1,โ€ฆ,ri1)\boldsymbol{r}_{I}=(r_{i_{1}},\dots,r_{i_{1}}), then K๐’“Iโ€‹โŠ—^kโ€‹๐’ฏnโ€‹(๐’“)K_{\boldsymbol{r}_{I}}\widehat{\otimes}_{k}\mathcal{T}_{n}(\boldsymbol{r}) is a strict K๐’“IK_{\boldsymbol{r}_{I}}-Tate algebra.

00IP

Corollary 2.49. For any kk-affinoid algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, there exists a multi-radius ๐’“I=(ri)iโˆˆI\boldsymbol{r}_{I}=(r_{i})_{i\in I} such that {ฮฑโก(logโกri)}iโˆˆI\{\alpha(\log r_{i})\}_{i\in I} are โ„š\mathbb{Q}-linearly independent and K๐’“Iโ€‹โŠ—^kโ€‹๐’œK_{\boldsymbol{r}_{I}}\widehat{\otimes}_{k}\mathcal{A} is a K๐’“IK_{\boldsymbol{r}_{I}}-strict affinoid algebra. ([Ber, Proposition 2.1.2])

2.3.2. Algebraic structures: Noetherianity

Let ๐’œ\mathcal{A} be a Banach kk-algebra, one denotes by ๐’œโˆ˜\mathcal{A}^{\circ} the kโˆ˜k^{\circ}-algebra {fโˆˆ๐’œย |ย โฆ€fโฆ€๐’œ,spโ‰ค1}\{f\in\mathcal{A}\text{ }|\text{ }\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathcal{A},\text{sp}}\leq 1\}, and by ๐’œโˆ˜โฃโˆ˜\mathcal{A}^{\circ\circ} the ideal of ๐’œโˆ˜\mathcal{A}^{\circ} constituting of elements โฆ€fโฆ€๐’œ,sp<1\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathcal{A},\text{sp}}<1. The k~\widetilde{k}-algebra ๐’œโˆ˜/๐’œโˆ˜โฃโˆ˜\mathcal{A}^{\circ}/\mathcal{A}^{\circ\circ} is called the reduction of ๐’œ\mathcal{A}. It can be shown that ๐’ฏn~\widetilde{\mathcal{T}_{n}} is isomorphic to k~โ€‹[T1,โ€ฆ,Tn]\widetilde{k}[T_{1},\dots,T_{n}]. ([BGR, Proposition 5.1.2.2])

00IQ

Definition 2.50. An element fโˆˆ๐’ฏnf\in\mathcal{T}_{n} with โฆ€fโฆ€๐’ฏn=1\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}}=1 is said to be regular in znz_{n} of degree dd if its reduction fยฏ=ฮปโ€‹(zn)d+โˆ‘0โ‰คiโ‰คdโˆ’1ciโ€‹(zn)dโˆ’i\bar{f}=\lambda(z_{n})^{d}+\sum_{0\leq i\leq d-1}c_{i}(z_{n})^{d-i} in ๐’ฏnยฏ\bar{\mathcal{T}_{n}} where ฮปโˆˆkร—\lambda\in k^{\times} and ciโˆˆkยฏโ€‹[z1,โ€ฆ,znโˆ’1]c_{i}\in\bar{k}[z_{1},\dots,z_{n-1}].

00IR

Proposition 2.51. [Weierstrass division] Let ๐’ฏn\mathcal{T}_{n} be the kk-Tate algebra of multiradius rยฏ=1ยฏ\underline{r}=\underline{1}, then

  1. (1)

    Let fโˆˆ๐’ฏnf\in\mathcal{T}_{n} be an distinguished element in znz_{n} of degree dd, and gโˆˆ๐’ฏng\in\mathcal{T}_{n} be any element. Then there exist unique rโˆˆ๐’ฏnโˆ’1โ€‹[zn]r\in\mathcal{T}_{n-1}[z_{n}] of degree less than dd in znz_{n} and qโˆˆ๐’ฏnq\in\mathcal{T}_{n} such that g=qโ‹…f+rg=q\cdot f+r. Moreover โฆ€gโฆ€๐’ฏn=max{โฆ€qโฆ€๐’ฏn,โฆ€rโฆ€๐’ฏn}\vvvert g\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}}=\max\{\vvvert q\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}},\vvvert r\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}}\}

  2. (2)

    Let fโˆˆ๐’ฏnf\in\mathcal{T}_{n} with โฆ€fโฆ€๐’ฏn=1\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}}=1. Then there exists a kk-algebra automorphism ฯ„\tau of ๐’ฏn\mathcal{T}_{n} such that ฯ„โก(f)\tau(f) is regular in znz_{n}.

([BGR, Theorem 5.2.1.2], [FvdP, Theorem 3.1.1])

00IS

Proposition 2.52. The Tate algebra ๐’ฏn\mathcal{T}_{n} is Noetherian. All of its ideals are closed. ([BGR, Theorem 5.2.6.1, Corollary 5.2.7.2], [FvdP, Theorem 3.2.1])

00IT

Corollary 2.53. Any strict affinoid algebra is Noetherian. All of its ideals are closed ([BGR, Proposition 6.1.1.3], [FvdP, Theorem 3.2.1]). Any affinoid algebra is Noetherian. All of its ideals are closed ([Ber, Propositon 2.1.3]).

00IU

Proposition 2.54. [Noether normalization] For strict affinoid algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, there exists an injective finite and admissible Banach algebra homomorphism ๐’ฏdโ†’๐’œ\mathcal{T}_{d}\to\mathcal{A} for some d>0d>0. Moreover, dd equals the Krull dimension of ๐’œ\mathcal{A}. ([BGR, Theorem 6.1.2.1], [FvdP, Theorem 3.2.1])

00IV

Corollary 2.55. Let ๐”ช\mathfrak{m} be a maximal ideal of strict affinoid algebra ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, then ๐’œ/๐”ช\mathcal{A}/\mathfrak{m} is a finite extension of kk.

2.3.3. Topological structures: the spectral norm

The Gauss norm on Tate algebra is equal to its spectral norm. For a general strict redueced affinoid algebra, the Banach algebra norm is equivalent to its spectral seminorm, thanks to the compatibility of Banach algebra norms with algebraic structures.

One studies the spectral norm of the Tate algebra case by direct calculation.

00IW

Proposition 2.56. For any fโˆˆ๐’ฏnf\in\mathcal{T}_{n}, there exists zโˆˆMaxโก(๐’ฏn)z\in\mathrm{Max}(\mathcal{T}_{n}) such that |f(z)|z=โฆ€fโฆ€๐’ฏn\lvert f(z)\rvert_{z}=\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}} ([BGR, Proposition 5.1.4.3]). On ๐’ฏn\mathcal{T}_{n}, the three norms are equal: โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€๐’ฏn=โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€๐’ฏn,sp=โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€๐’ฏn,spM\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n}}=\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n},\text{sp}}=\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{T}_{n},\mathrm{spM}}.

One then uses Noether normalization to investigate the spectral seminorm of general affinoid algebra.

00IX

Proposition 2.57. Let ๐’œ\mathcal{A} be a reduced strict affinoid algebra. Then its spectral norm โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€๐’œ,sp\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{A},\text{sp}} is a complete norm on ๐’œ\mathcal{A}. It is equivalent to the Banach algebra norm โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€๐’œ\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathcal{A}}. ([FvdP, Theorem 3.4.9], [BGR, Theorem 6.2.4.1])

00IY

Corollary 2.58. Let ๐’œ\mathcal{A} be a reduced general affinoid algebra. Then there exists C>0C>0 such that โฆ€fโฆ€โ‰คCโฆ€fโฆ€sp\vvvert f\vvvert\leq C\vvvert f\vvvert_{\mathrm{sp}} for all fโˆˆ๐’œf\in\mathcal{A}. In particular, โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€sp\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert_{\mathrm{sp}} is complete on ๐’œ\mathcal{A} , and is equivalent to โฆ€โ‹…โฆ€\vvvert\mathord{\cdot}\vvvert. ([Ber, Proposition 2.1.4.ii])

00IZ

Remark 2.59. The constant CC here does not depend on fโˆˆ๐’œf\in\mathcal{A}, it is uniform.

2.3.4. Affinoid space as locally ringed space

The Berkovich spectrum of affinoid algebras are called affinoid spaces. It is possible to put locally ringed space structures on them. The construction of structural sheaf goes first with a Grothendieck topology generated by closed compact subsets of affinoid domains, then passes to the canonical topology by a limit process approximating an open set by these compact sets.

Affinoid domains and structural algebra
00J0

Definition 2.60. Let ๐’œ\mathcal{A} be an affinoid algebra. An affinoid domain is a closed subset VV of ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}), which is homeomorphic to (ฮนV)โ‹†โ€‹(๐”โก(๐’œV))(\iota_{V})^{\star}(\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}_{V})) for some affinoid algebra ๐’œV\mathcal{A}_{V} and Banach algebra homomorphism ฮนV:๐’œโ†’๐’œV\iota_{V}:\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{A}_{V}, and satisfies the universal mapping property: for any Banach algebra homomorphism ฯ•:๐’œโ†’๐’ž\phi:\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{C} between affinoid algebras with ฯ•โ‹†โ€‹(๐”โก(๐’ž))โІV\phi^{\star}(\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{C}))\subseteq V, there exists a unique Banach algebra homomorphism ฯˆ:๐’œVโ†’๐’ž\psi:\mathcal{A}_{V}\to\mathcal{C} with ฯ•=ฯˆโˆ˜ฮนV\phi=\psi\circ\iota_{V}

00J1

Lemma 2.61. Let VV be an affinoid domain in ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}). Then VV is homeomorphic to ๐”โก(๐’œV)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}_{V}). Moreover ๐’œV\mathcal{A}_{V} is a flat ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-algebra. ([Ber, Proposition 2.2.4])

00J2

Example 2.62. Given f=(f1,โ€ฆ,fm)f=(f_{1},\dots,f_{m}) and g=(g1,โ€ฆ,gn)g=(g_{1},\dots,g_{n}) tuples of elements of ๐’œ\mathcal{A}, p=(p1,โ€ฆ,pm)โˆˆ(โ„+โˆ—)mp=(p_{1},\dots,p_{m})\in(\mathbb{R}_{+}^{*})^{m} and q=(q1,โ€ฆ,qn)โˆˆ(โ„+โˆ—)nq=(q_{1},\dots,q_{n})\in(\mathbb{R}_{+}^{*})^{n}, the closed subset

V=๐”(๐’œ)(pโˆ’1f,qgโˆ’1):={zโˆˆ๐”(๐’œ),|fi(z)|zโ‰คpi,ย |gj(z)|zโ‰ฅqj}V=\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})(p^{-1}f,qg^{-1}):=\{z\in\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}),|f_{i}(z)|_{z}\leq p_{i},\text{ }|g_{j}(z)|_{z}\geq q_{j}\}

is an affinoid domain. The corresponding homomorphism of affinoid algebras is

๐’œโ†’๐’œV=๐’œโก{p1โˆ’1โ€‹T1,โ€ฆ,pmโˆ’1โ€‹Tm,q1โ€‹S1,โ€ฆ,qnโ€‹Sn}/(Tiโˆ’fi,gjโ€‹Sjโˆ’1)\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{A}_{V}=\mathcal{A}\{p_{1}^{-1}T_{1},\dots,p_{m}^{-1}T_{m},q_{1}S_{1},\dots,q_{n}S_{n}\}/(T_{i}-f_{i},g_{j}S_{j}-1)

Such domains are called Laurent domains. If n=0n=0, they are called Weierstrass domains.

00J3

Lemma 2.63. A finite intersection of affinoid domains is an affinoid domain. ([Ber, Remark 2.2.2.iv])

00J4

Corollary 2.64. Any point zโˆˆ๐”โก(๐’œ)z\in\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}) has a fundamental system of (closed) neighbourhoods consisting of affinoid domains. ([Ber, Proposition 2.2.3])

Special domains and acyclicity of structural presheaf
00J5

Definition 2.65. A special domain VV in ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}) is a finite union of affinoid domains ViV_{i} in ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}).

00J6

Definition 2.66. The Grothendieck topology on ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}) is the one with special domains as admissible open sets and finite covering as admissible coverings. One notes ๐”โ€‹(๐’œ)G\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})_{G} for the space with this G-topology.

Definition 2.67. Let ๐”™\mathfrak{V} be an admissible covering of ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}) by affinoid domains {Vi}iโˆˆI\{V_{i}\}_{i\in I}, where II is a finite set. Then for a Banach finite ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-module โ„ณ\mathcal{M}, the Cech complex of โ„ณ\mathcal{M} with respect to ViV_{i} is defined to be the complex of Banach ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-modules

Cโˆ™(โ„ณ,๐”™):ย 0โ†’โ„ณโ†’โˆiโˆˆIโ„ณiโ†’โˆi,jโˆˆIโ„ณi,jโ†’โ€ฆC^{\centerdot}(\mathcal{M},\mathfrak{V}):\text{ }0\to\mathcal{M}\to\prod_{i\in I}\mathcal{M}_{i}\to\prod_{i,j\in I}\mathcal{M}_{i,j}\to\dots

One would like to have acyclicity of the complex Cโˆ™โ€‹(โ„ณ,๐”™)C^{\centerdot}(\mathcal{M},\mathfrak{V}) in order to follow standard construction of a structural sheaf on ๐”โ€‹(๐’œ)G\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})_{G}.

Theorem 2.68. Let ๐’œ\mathcal{A} be a strict affinoid algebra and ๐”™\mathfrak{V} an admissible covering by strict affinoid domains for ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}). Then Cโˆ™โ€‹(๐’œ,๐”™)C^{\centerdot}(\mathcal{A},\mathfrak{V}) is acyclic. ([BGR, Proposition 8.2.2.5])

Corollary 2.69. For general affinoid domain ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}) with general affinoid domains covering ๐”™\mathfrak{V}, the complex Cโˆ™โ€‹(๐’œ,๐”™)C^{\centerdot}(\mathcal{A},\mathfrak{V}) is acyclic. So is Cโˆ™โ€‹(M,๐”™)C^{\centerdot}(M,\mathfrak{V}) for finite Banach ๐’œ\mathcal{A}-module MM. ([Ber, Proposition 2.2.5])

Definition 2.70. Let VV be any special domain in ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}). Fix a way of writing VV as โ‹ƒiโˆˆIVi\bigcup_{i\in I}V_{i} where II is a finite set and Vi=๐”โก(๐’œVi)V_{i}=\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}_{V_{i}}) are affinoid algebras, let

๐’œV:=kerโก(โˆiโˆˆI๐’œViโ†’โˆi,jโˆˆI๐’œViโˆฉVj)\mathcal{A}_{V}:=\ker(\prod_{i\in I}\mathcal{A}_{V_{i}}\to\prod_{i,j\in I}\mathcal{A}_{V_{i}\cap V_{j}})

be the kk-Banach algebra with sub-norm. The structural pre-sheaf of affinoid algebras ๐’ช๐”โ€‹(๐’œ)G\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})_{G}} on ๐”โ€‹(๐’œ)G\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})_{G} (with respect to the G-topology) is the one assigning VV the kk-Banach algebra ๐’œV\mathcal{A}_{V}. It is a sheaf thanks to Corollary 2.69.

Remark 2.71. The kk-Banach algebra ๐’ช๐”โ€‹(๐’œ)Gโ€‹(V)\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})_{G}}(V) does not depend on the way of being a union of affinoid domains.

Definition 2.72. For any open subset UU of ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}), let ๐’ช๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})} be the pre-sheaf of kk-algebras (with respect to the canonical topology) which assigns UU the limit

๐’ช๐”โก(๐’œ)โ€‹(U):=limโ†VโŠ‚U,V special domainโก๐’œV\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})}(U):=\varprojlim_{V\subset U,\text{V special domain}}\mathcal{A}_{V}

It is also a sheaf thanks to the compactness of special domains under canonical topology. This is called the structural sheaf of ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}).

Proposition 2.73. ๐’ช๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})} is a sheaf of local rings. The topological space ๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A}) has a structure of locally ringed space given by the sheaf ๐’ช๐”โก(๐’œ)\mathscr{O}_{\mathfrak{M}(\mathcal{A})}. ([Ber, Section 2.3])
