$p$-adic Hodge Theory for rigid spaces, after P. Scholze

Let me start with the second question first: The usual de Rham complex is not locally acyclic in positive degrees, in any of the topologies (analytic (= of rational subsets), étale, pro-étale, ...). ...

Are rigid-analytic spaces obsolete, since adic spaces exist?

My opinion (knowing that this is somehow a matter of taste) is that the rigid-analytic viewpoint is more or less obsolete, and that one should better use Berkovich, Huber or Raynaud instead (each of ...

Are rigid-analytic spaces obsolete, since adic spaces exist?

There are two questions here: which version of the theory is easiest to get off the ground axiomatically, and which version is more convenient to work with in applications? For the first question, it'...

Why are there three kinds of non-archimedean geometry?

Tate's rigid-analytic geometry was the first theory of (global) nonarchimedean geometry to have been devised, and in some sense could be seen as a "proof of concept" that such a theory can ...

simple questions on topological rings arising in the context of Perfectoid Spaces

Firstly, I don't think you should start to learn about adic spaces by thinking about perfectoid spaces. The sensible examples of adic spaces for a beginner to think about are sane Noetherian things ...

Translation between formal geometry and rigid geometry

No, these are not the same thing. Formal schemes are to rigid-analytic spaces as $\mathbf{Z}_p$-schemes are to $\mathbf{Q}_p$-schemes. The book Lectures in Formal and Rigid Geometry by Bosch is an ...

Motivation for relative schemes: why should one work with schemes over a ringed topos?

The comments to your question discuss the variation of relative schemes over a topos, vs relative schemes over a site. But it seems your question stood at the more basic level of the relevance of ...

Intuition about $\mathrm{Spec}\mathbb{C}[[t]]$ versus $\mathrm{Spf}\mathbb{C}[[t]]$ versus $\mathrm{Specan}\mathbb{C}[[t]]$ (and similar objects)

In a nutshell: $\mathrm{Spec}~\mathbb{C}[[t]]$ Is a “trait” i.e. the spectrum of a discrete valuation domain, with a generic (open) point and a closed point. It might be imagined as a refinement of ...

On the definition of the etale site of an adic space

Great question! The short answer is that Huber simply wanted to be in a setting where everything is (stably) sheafy, and so put some assumptions ensuring this. Note that Huber's work remained somewhat ...

Flatness of the integral closure

No. Take $R=\mathbb{Z}_p[x,y]/(xy-p^2)$, $S^+=\mathbb{Z}_p[u,v]/(uv-p)$, and map $R$ into $S^+$ by $x\mapsto u^2$, $y\mapsto v^2$. Note that $R$ is normal, $S^+$ is a finite extension of $R$, étale of ...

Finite subgroups of GL_n of polynomial rings over finite fields

Well, polynomial rings are very complicated. I assume the question is more generally about $GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q[T_1,\dots,T_m])$. The case of one variable can be deduced from the following paper: C. ...

Why does $\mathbb C_p$ not contain the periods?

Vector bundles on adic spaces

The question is local on $X$, so we may assume that $\mathcal E$ is finite free, of rank $n$, say. In that case, as also SashaP points out, the question amounts to the question whether $\mathbb A^n_X$ ...

Are maps corresponding to affinoid subdomains flat in the Banach sense?

This is not true. Assume that $X$ is the closed unit disc (given by $|T| \le 1$, with algebra $B$) and $V$ is a smaller disc (given by $|T| \le r$ for some $r \in (0,1)$, with algebra $B_V$). Consider ...

What's the relation between analytic stacks and higher complex/non-archimedean analytic stacks?
