Definition 2.60. Let be an affinoid algebra. An affinoid domain is a closed subset of , which is homeomorphic to for some affinoid algebra and Banach algebra homomorphism , and satisfies the universal mapping property: for any Banach algebra homomorphism between affinoid algebras with , there exists a unique Banach algebra homomorphism with

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
Lemma 2.61. Let be an affinoid domain in . Then is homeomorphic to . Moreover is a flat -algebra. ([Ber, Proposition 2.2.4])
Example 2.62. Given and tuples of elements of , and , the closed subset
is an affinoid domain. The corresponding homomorphism of affinoid algebras is
Such domains are called Laurent domains. If , they are called Weierstrass domains.
Lemma 2.63. A finite intersection of affinoid domains is an affinoid domain. ([Ber, Remark 2.2.2.iv])
Corollary 2.64. Any point has a fundamental system of (closed) neighbourhoods consisting of affinoid domains. ([Ber, Proposition 2.2.3])
Special domains and acyclicity of structural presheaf
Definition 2.65. A special domain in is a finite union of affinoid domains in .
Definition 2.66. The Grothendieck topology on is the one with special domains as admissible open sets and finite covering as admissible coverings. One notes for the space with this G-topology.
Definition 2.67. Let be an admissible covering of by affinoid domains , where is a finite set. Then for a Banach finite -module , the Cech complex of with respect to is defined to be the complex of Banach -modules
One would like to have acyclicity of the complex in order to follow standard construction of a structural sheaf on .
Theorem 2.68. Let be a strict affinoid algebra and an admissible covering by strict affinoid domains for . Then is acyclic. ([BGR, Proposition 8.2.2.5])
Corollary 2.69. For general affinoid domain with general affinoid domains covering , the complex is acyclic. So is for finite Banach -module . ([Ber, Proposition 2.2.5])
Definition 2.70. Let be any special domain in . Fix a way of writing as where is a finite set and are affinoid algebras, let
be the -Banach algebra with sub-norm. The structural pre-sheaf of affinoid algebras on (with respect to the G-topology) is the one assigning the -Banach algebra . It is a sheaf thanks to Corollary 2.69.
Remark 2.71. The -Banach algebra does not depend on the way of being a union of affinoid domains.
Definition 2.72. For any open subset of , let be the pre-sheaf of -algebras (with respect to the canonical topology) which assigns the limit
It is also a sheaf thanks to the compactness of special domains under canonical topology. This is called the structural sheaf of .
Proposition 2.73. is a sheaf of local rings. The topological space has a structure of locally ringed space given by the sheaf . ([Ber, Section 2.3])
