We follow the proof of [Gub10 , Proposition 5.7] but in order to establish the result for an arbitrary non-archimedean field K K (not necessarily algebraically closed), we use [Gub13 , Proposition 6.22] instead of [Gub07 , Proposition 4.4] . Let Ο \tau be an open face of π \mathfrak{D} . We prove first that R := red β‘ ( p π β²β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) R:=\red(p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}^{-1}(\tau)) is a stratum of π ~ β²β² \tilde{\mathfrak{X}}^{\prime\prime} . There is a unique stratum S S of π ~ \tilde{\mathfrak{X}} such that Ο \tau is contained in the interior of Ξ S \Delta_{S} . Let π \mathfrak{U} be a formal open subset of π \mathfrak{X} such that S S is the distinguished stratum of π \mathfrak{U} (Proposition 2.5 ). As strata are compatible with localization we may assume π = π \mathfrak{X}=\mathfrak{U} . Let Ο 1 β² : π β²β² β π β ( π , π ) β² \psi_{1}^{\prime}:\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}\rightarrow\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime} be the base change of the composition of the Γ©tale map Ο : π β π β‘ ( π , π , m ) \psi:\mathfrak{X}\rightarrow\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a},m) with the projection on the first factor π β‘ ( π , π ) \mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a}) . By [Gub13 , Proposition 6.22] the first part of the proposition holds for π β ( π , π ) β² \mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime} . Let T T be the stratum of π β ( π , π ) β² \mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime} corresponding to Ο \tau , i.e.
(2.1)
Ο = p π β ( π , π ) β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( T ) ) \displaystyle\tau=p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}(\red^{-1}(T))
and
(2.2)
T = red β‘ ( p π β ( π , π ) β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) . \displaystyle T=\red(p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}^{-1}(\tau)).
where p π β ( π , π ) β² : π β ( π , π ) β² a β n β Ξ S p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}:\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime an}\rightarrow\Delta_{S} is the retraction map. We prove R = Ο ~ 1 β² β 1 β ( T ) R=\tilde{\psi}_{1}^{\prime-1}(T) . First we observe that
red β‘ ( ( Ο β² 1 an ) β 1 β ( p π β ( π , π ) β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) ) = Ο ~ 1 β² β 1 β ( red β‘ ( p π β ( π , π ) β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) ) . \red(({\psi^{\prime}}_{1}^{\textup{an}})^{-1}(p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}^{-1}(\tau)))=\tilde{\psi}_{1}^{\prime-1}(\red(p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}^{-1}(\tau))).
The inclusion β \subseteq is clear because red β Ο β² 1 an = Ο ~ β² 1 β red \red\circ{\psi^{\prime}}_{1}^{\textup{an}}=\tilde{\psi}^{\prime}_{1}\circ\red . The other inclusion follows from this fact and an application of [Gub13 , Proposition 6.22] . For details we refer to the proof of [Gub10 , Proposition 5.7] . We conclude
R = red β‘ ( p π β²β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) = red β‘ ( ( Ο β² 1 an ) β 1 β ( p π β ( π , π ) β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) ) = Ο ~ 1 β² β 1 β ( red β‘ ( p π β ( π , π ) β² β 1 β ( Ο ) ) ) β = ( 2.2 ) β Ο ~ 1 β² β 1 β ( T ) . R=\red(p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}^{-1}(\tau))=\red(({\psi^{\prime}}_{1}^{\textup{an}})^{-1}(p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}^{-1}(\tau)))=\tilde{\psi}_{1}^{\prime-1}(\red(p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}^{-1}(\tau)))\overset{(\ref{T=})}{=}\tilde{\psi}_{1}^{\prime-1}(T).
By [Ber99 , Lemma 2.2] R R is a strata subset. To see that R R is indeed a stratum it is enough to show that R R is irreducible. But this follows from
Ο ~ 1 β² β 1 β ( T ) = ( T Γ π ~ β ( m ) ) Γ π ~ β ( π , π , m ) β² π ~ β²β² β
( T Γ π ~ β ( m ) ) Γ { 0 ~ } Γ π ~ β ( m ) Ο ~ β 1 β ( { 0 ~ } Γ π ~ β ( m ) ) β
T Γ S , \tilde{\psi}_{1}^{\prime-1}(T)=(T\times\tilde{\mathfrak{X}}(m))\times_{\tilde{\mathfrak{X}}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a},m)^{\prime}}\tilde{\mathfrak{X}}^{\prime\prime}\cong(T\times\tilde{\mathfrak{X}}(m))\times_{\{\tilde{0}\}\times\tilde{\mathfrak{X}}(m)}\tilde{\psi}^{-1}(\{\tilde{0}\}\times\tilde{\mathfrak{X}}(m))\cong T\times S,
where the latter is irreducible by [Gro65 , Corollaire 4.5.8 (i)] .
As the open faces of π \mathfrak{D} cover Ξ \Delta , every stratum of π ~ β²β² \tilde{\mathfrak{X}}^{\prime\prime} is obtained this way. It remains to prove that we can recover Ο \tau from R R . First note that
p π β²β² β ( ( Ο β² 1 an ) β 1 β ( red β 1 β‘ ( T ) ) ) = p π β ( π , π ) β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( T ) ) . p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(({\psi^{\prime}}_{1}^{\textup{an}})^{-1}(\red^{-1}(T)))=p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}(\red^{-1}(T)).
The inclusion β \subseteq is clear because p π β²β² = p π β ( π , π ) β² β Ο β² 1 an p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}=p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}\circ{\psi^{\prime}}_{1}^{\textup{an}} . For the other inclusion, let x β p π β ( π , π ) β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( T ) ) = Ο x\in p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}(\red^{-1}(T))=\tau . As the sets red β 1 β‘ ( T β² ) \red^{-1}(T^{\prime}) with T β² T^{\prime} varying over the strata of π ~ β ( π , π ) β² \tilde{\mathfrak{X}}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime} cover π β ( π , π ) β² an {\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}^{\textup{an}} and using [Gub13 , Proposition 6.22] and the fact the p π β ( π , π ) β² p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}} restricts to the identity on Ξ \Delta we deduce x β red β 1 β‘ ( T ) x\in\red^{-1}(T) . Hence x x is an element of the left hand side which proves the equality claimed in the display. Now the rest is an easy calculation:
p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( R ) ) \displaystyle p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(R))
= p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Ο ~ 1 β² β 1 β ( T ) ) ) \displaystyle=p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(\tilde{\psi}_{1}^{\prime-1}(T)))
= p π β²β² β ( ( Ο β² 1 an ) β 1 β ( red β 1 β‘ ( T ) ) ) \displaystyle=p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(({\psi^{\prime}}_{1}^{\textup{an}})^{-1}(\red^{-1}(T)))
= p π β ( π , π ) β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( T ) ) \displaystyle=p_{\mathfrak{X}(\boldsymbol{n},\boldsymbol{a})^{\prime}}(\red^{-1}(T))
= ( 2.1 ) β Ο . \displaystyle\overset{(\ref{tau=})}{=}\tau.
Finally we want to show that R R may be replaced by a nonempty subset Y Y of R R . Clearly, the arguments in [Gub10 , Proposition 5.7] generalize to the polystable situation, so we presume the claim for K K algebraically closed and show how to drop this assumption. Let β K \mathbb{C}_{K} be the completion of an algebraic closure of K K . We denote by Ο : π β K β²β² β π β²β² \pi:\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}\rightarrow\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime} the base change of π β²β² \mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime} to β K β \mathbb{C}_{K}^{\circ} . Let R β² R^{\prime} be the union of the strata of π ~ β K β²β² \tilde{\mathfrak{X}}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}} lying over R R . Then Ο \pi induces a surjection p π β K β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( R β² ) ) β p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( R ) ) p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(\red^{-1}(R^{\prime}))\twoheadrightarrow p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(R)) as the strata in R β² R^{\prime} correspond to open faces lying over Ο \tau . Let Y β² Y^{\prime} be a lift of Y Y in R β² R^{\prime} . By [Gub10 , Proposition 5.7] we have p π β K β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Y β² ) ) = p π β K β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( R β² ) ) p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(\red^{-1}(Y^{\prime}))=p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(\red^{-1}(R^{\prime})) . Clearly p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Y ) ) β p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( R ) ) p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(Y))\subseteq p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(R)) and hence it is enough to show that the restriction of Ο \pi to p π β K β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Y β² ) ) p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(\red^{-1}(Y^{\prime})) factors through p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Y ) ) p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(Y)) . We have the following commutative diagram:

Let x β p π β K β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Y β² ) ) x\in p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(\red^{-1}(Y^{\prime})) and y β red β 1 β‘ ( Y β² ) y\in\red^{-1}(Y^{\prime}) with p π β K β²β² β ( y ) = x p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(y)=x then Ο β‘ ( x ) = Ο β‘ ( p π β K β²β² β ( y ) ) = p π β²β² β ( Ο β‘ ( y ) ) β p π β²β² β ( red β 1 β‘ ( Y ) ) \pi(x)=\pi(p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}_{\mathbb{C}_{K}}}(y))=p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\pi(y))\in p_{\mathfrak{X}^{\prime\prime}}(\red^{-1}(Y)) . This proves the claim.
