Abstract.

We introduce the specialization map in Scholze’s theory of diamonds. We consider v-sheaves that “behave like formal schemes” and call them kimberlites. We attach to them: a reduced special fiber, an analytic locus, a specialization map, a Zariski site, and an étale site. When the kimberlite comes from a formal scheme, our sites recover the classical ones. We prove that unramified 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians are kimberlites with finiteness and normality properties.

Introduction

As Fargues–Scholze [8] and Scholze–Weinstein [20] show, Scholze’s theory of diamonds and v-sheaves [18] is a powerful geometric framework to study (among other things) the local Langlands correspondence and the theory of local Shimura varieties. One of the early milestones of Scholze’s theory roughly says that diamonds capture correctly the étale site of an analytic adic space ([18, §15]). Moreover, the category of diamonds contains many geometric objects of arithmetic interest that do not come from an analytic adic space, and for these spaces one still gets a well-behaved étale site.

Although Scholze’s theory of v-sheaves is also useful to study adic spaces that are not analytic (like the ones coming from a formal scheme), some complications arise. For example, the v-sheaf associated to a non-analytic adic space has more open subsets than one would expect [20, §18]. In particular, a comparison of étale sites can’t hold since even the site of open subsets do not coincide. Despite this complications, it is still profitable to understand the behavior of the v-sheaves associated to non-analytic adic spaces. The main motivation to work this out is because there are v-sheaves of arithmetic interest that do not come from an adic space, but “resemble” the behavior of a formal scheme. The main examples to keep in mind are the integral models of moduli spaces of 
𝑝
-adic shtukas proposed in [20, §25] or the 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians of [20, §21].

In rough terms this article does the following:

(1) 

Study the topological space 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
 for a general Huber pair 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
. We overcome many of the technical difficulties of working with these spaces.

(2) 

Propose a rigorous definition of what it means for a v-sheaf to “resemble” a formal scheme. We call these v-sheaves kimberlites.

(3) 

Construct specialization maps attached to kimberlites. This recovers the classical specialization maps of formal schemes.

(4) 

Attach “Zariski” and “étale” sites to a kimberlite. This allow us to recover the Zariski and étale sites of a formal scheme intrinsically from the v-sheaf attached to it.

(5) 

Verify that the 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians attached to reductive groups over 
ℤ
𝑝
 are interesting examples of kimberlites that do not come from formal schemes.

Although this work (admittedly of technical nature) is far from being a robust theory, we think it makes appreciable progress in our understanding of this kind of v-sheaves and sets a stepping stone for future investigations. For instance, the constructions and techniques discussed here have already found applications in the following works:

(1) 

In our work on geometric connected components of local Shimura varieties [9].

(2) 

In our collaborative work with Anschütz, Lourenço and Richarz on the Scholze–Weinstein conjecture [1].

(3) 

In the representability results of Pappas and Rapoport [15].

We find it reasonable to expect that our considerations will play a role in more general representability results of integral local Shimura varieties, and a role in the study of “the nearby cycles functor” (4.29).


Let us give a more detailed account of our results. In [18], Scholze sets foundations for the theory of diamonds which can be defined as certain sheaves on the category of characteristic 
𝑝
 perfectoid spaces endowed with a Grothendieck topology called the v-topology. He associates to any pre-adic space 
𝑋
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
 (not necessarily analytic) a small v-sheaf 
𝑋
♢
, and whenever 
𝑋
 is analytic he proves that 
𝑋
♢
 is a locally spatial diamond. If 
𝑋
=
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 for a Huber pair 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, then 
𝑋
♢
 is denoted 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. Moreover, Scholze assigns to any small v-sheaf 
ℱ
 an underlying topological space 
|
ℱ
|
 and whenever 
ℱ
=
𝑋
♢
 he constructs a functorial surjective and continuous map 
|
ℱ
|
→
|
𝑋
|
. When 
𝑋
 is analytic it is proven in [20] that this map is a homeomorphism, but this map fails to be injective almost always for pre-adic spaces that have non-analytic points. To tackle this difficulty, we associate to a Huber pair 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 what we call below its olivine spectrum, which we denote 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. The definition of this topological space is concrete enough to allow computations to take place. Moreover, in most cases of interest 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 recovers 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
.

Theorem 1.

Let 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 be a complete Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
, there is a functorial bijective and continuous map 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
→
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. Moreover, it is a homeomorphism if 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is topologically of finite type over 
(
𝐵
0
,
𝐵
0
)
 for 
𝐵
0
⊆
𝐵
+
 a ring of definition.

In [20, §18] Scholze and Weinstein attach to a perfect scheme 
𝑋
 in characteristic 
𝑝
 a v-sheaf denoted 
𝑋
⋄
. Moreover, they prove that the functor 
𝑋
↦
𝑋
⋄
 is fully-faithful. It will be clear to the reader that many of our techniques used to prove 1 are borrowed from Scholze and Weinstein’s approach to their full-faithfulness result, but our perspective allow us to go farther.

Theorem 2.

Let 
𝑌
 be a perfect non-analytic adic space over 
𝔽
𝑝
 and let 
𝑋
 be a pre-adic space over 
ℤ
𝑝
. The natural map 
Hom
PreAd
​
(
𝑌
,
𝑋
)
→
Hom
​
(
𝑌
♢
,
𝑋
♢
)
 is bijective. In particular, 
(
−
)
♢
 is fully faithful when restricted to the category of perfect non-analytic adic spaces over 
𝔽
𝑝
.

2 allow us to recover Scholze and Weinstein’s result as a particular case. Also, the olivine spectrum allows us to show that Scholze and Weinstein’s functor 
𝑋
↦
𝑋
⋄
 is continuous for the v-topology and admits a right adjoint 
ℱ
↦
ℱ
red
 at the level of topoi. We call this the reduction functor and it plays a key role in the rest of our theory. In general, the objects obtained from the reduction functor might not be perfect schemes, but they are “scheme theoretic v-sheaves” and they come equipped with an underlying topological space that agrees with the Zariski topology whenever they are representable.


Let us describe our approach to study v-sheaves that “behave like” formal schemes. We consider three layers, in each layer we get closer to capture the behavior of formal schemes. We first recall a more classical case. Let 
𝒳
 be a 
𝑝
-adic separated formal scheme topologically of finite type over 
ℤ
𝑝
. One can associate to 
𝒳
 a rigid analytic space over 
ℚ
𝑝
, that we will denote by 
𝑋
𝜂
. We can also associate to 
𝒳
 a finite type reduced scheme over 
𝔽
𝑝
, that we denote by 
𝑋
¯
. Huber’s theory of adic spaces allows us to consider 
𝑋
𝜂
 as an adic space and assign to it a topological space 
|
𝑋
𝜂
|
. Moreover, one can construct a continuous map 
sp
𝒳
:
|
𝑋
𝜂
|
→
|
𝑋
¯
|
, where 
|
𝑋
¯
|
 is the usual Zariski space underlying 
𝑋
¯
 [3, Remark 7.4.12] or [13, Definition 6.4]). A theorem of Lourenço ([20, Theorem 18.4.2]) says that “nice enough” formal schemes can be recovered from the triple 
(
𝑋
𝜂
,
𝑋
¯
,
sp
𝒳
)
. We propose that v-sheaves that “resemble” formal schemes should be those for which a specialization map can be constructed.

Consider the following. Given a Tate Huber pair 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 with pseudo-uniformizer 
𝜛
∈
𝐴
+
 the specialization map 
sp
𝐴
:
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐴
+
/
𝜛
)
 assigns to 
𝑥
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 the prime ideal 
𝔭
𝑥
 of those elements 
𝑎
∈
𝐴
+
 for which 
|
𝑎
|
𝑥
<
1
. Observe that this construction is functorial in the category of Tate Huber pairs. We wish to exploit functoriality to descend this specialization map to more general v-sheaves. The first question is: What should the target of the specialization map be?

One can compute directly that if 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is a uniform Tate Huber pair, then 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
+
)
red
 is the perfection of 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
+
/
𝜛
)
. This suggests that if we want to attach a specialization map to a v-sheaf 
ℱ
 the target of this map should be 
|
ℱ
red
|
.

A key aspect that makes the specialization map for Tate Huber pairs functorial is that every map of Tate Huber pairs 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 automatically upgrades “integrally” to a map 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
+
)
. This motivates the following definition:

Definition 3.

Let 
ℱ
 be a small v-sheaf, 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be a Tate Huber pair and 
𝑓
:
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 a map.

(1) 

We say that 
ℱ
 formalizes 
𝑓
 (or that 
𝑓
 is formalizable) if there is 
𝑡
:
Spd
​
(
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 factoring 
𝑓
.

(2) 

We say that 
ℱ
 v-formalizes 
𝑓
 if there is a v-cover 
𝑔
:
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 such that 
ℱ
 formalizes 
𝑓
∘
𝑔
.

(3) 

We say that 
ℱ
 is v-formalizing if it v-formalizes any 
𝑓
 as above.

Given a v-formalizing v-sheaf 
ℱ
 one could define the specialization map 
sp
ℱ
:
|
ℱ
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 so that for any “formalized” map 
𝑓
:
Spd
​
(
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 the following diagram is commutative:

∣
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
∣
∣
Spd
​
(
𝐴
+
)
∣
∣
ℱ
∣
∣
Spec
​
(
𝐴
+
/
𝜛
)
perf
∣
∣
ℱ
red
∣
sp
𝐴
∣
𝑓
∣
sp
ℱ
∣
𝑓
red
∣

The recipe to compute the specialization map would then be as follows: given 
𝑥
∈
|
ℱ
|
 represent it by a map 
𝜄
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
→
ℱ
, find a formalization 
𝑓
𝑥
:
Spd
​
(
𝐶
+
)
→
ℱ
 of 
𝜄
𝑥
. Apply the reduction functor to 
𝑓
𝑥
 to obtain a map 
𝑓
𝑥
red
:
Spec
​
(
𝐶
+
/
𝜛
)
perf
→
ℱ
red
. Look at the image of the closed point in 
Spec
​
(
𝐶
+
/
𝜛
)
 under 
|
𝑓
𝑥
red
|
. This is 
sp
ℱ
​
(
𝑥
)
.

The natural question is whether or not this is well defined. The problem being that the map 
𝜄
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
→
ℱ
 might have more than one formalization. The naive guess is that this doesn’t happen if 
ℱ
 is separated as a v-sheaf. Unfortunately, this is false. At the heart of the problem is the following pathology: although 
|
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
|
 is dense within 
|
Spa
​
(
𝐶
+
)
|
 it is not true that 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
|
 is dense within 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐶
+
)
|
. It is this key subtlety that requires sufficient understanding of the olivine spectrum of Huber pairs.

Definition 4.

Let 
𝑓
:
ℱ
→
𝒢
 be a map of v-sheaves.

(1) 

We say 
𝑓
 is formally adic if the following diagram induced by adjunction is Cartesian:

 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
ℱ
𝒢
(2) 

If 
ℱ
 comes with a formally adic map to 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 we say that 
ℱ
 is 
𝑝
-adic.

(3) 

We say 
𝑓
 is formally closed if it is a formally adic closed immersion.

(4) 

We say 
ℱ
 is formally separated if the diagonal 
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 is formally closed.

Using the olivine spectrum we prove that 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
|
 is “formally dense” in 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐶
+
)
|
. The main feature of a formally separated v-sheaf 
ℱ
 is that a map 
𝜄
:
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 has at most one formalization (if any).

Combining the two inputs we say that a v-sheaf 
ℱ
 is specializing if it is v-formalizing and formally separated, this is the first layer of approximation to the definition. We attach functorially to such 
ℱ
 a continuous specialization map 
|
ℱ
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
.

Now, specializing v-sheaves produce all the specialization maps we are interested in, but they are still too general to capture the behavior of formal schemes.

Definition 5.

Let 
ℱ
 be a specializing v-sheaf. We say 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite if:

a) 

ℱ
red
 is represented by a scheme.

b) 

The map 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
→
ℱ
 coming from adjunction is a closed immersion.

If 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite, we let the analytic locus be 
ℱ
an
=
ℱ
∖
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
.

We can attach étale and Zariski sites to a prekimberlite as follows:

Definition 6.

Suppose 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite, we let 
(
ℱ
)
qc
,
for
​
-
​
e
´
​
t
 be the category that has as objects maps 
𝑓
:
𝒢
→
ℱ
 where 
𝒢
 is a prekimberlite and 
𝑓
 is formally adic, étale and quasicompact. Morphisms are maps of v-sheaves commuting with the structure map. We call objects in this category the étale formal neighborhoods of 
ℱ
. If 
𝑓
 is also injective we call them open formal neighborhoods of 
ℱ
.

Theorem 7.

For 
ℱ
 a prekimberlite, the reduction functor 
(
−
)
red
:
(
ℱ
)
qc
,
for
​
-
​
e
´
​
t
→
(
ℱ
red
)
qc
,
e
´
​
t
,
sep
 is an equivalence. Here, the target category are the maps of perfect schemes 
𝑓
:
𝑌
→
ℱ
red
 that are quasicompact, étale and separated. Moreover, this functor restricts to an equivalence between open formal neighborhoods and quasicompact open immersions.

Now, if 
𝔛
 is a separated formal scheme locally admitting a finitely generated ideal of definition (see 1 below for details), then 
𝔛
♢
 is a prekimberlite and 
(
𝔛
♢
)
red
 is the perfection of the reduced subscheme of 
𝔛
. In particular, one can recover the étale site of 
𝔛
 from 
(
𝔛
♢
)
qc
,
for
​
-
​
e
´
​
t
 through 7.

Let us describe the inverse functor, for this we consider the following construction due to Heuer [10]. For a perfect scheme 
𝑋
 in characteristic 
𝑝
 we let 
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 denote the v-sheaf given by the analytic sheafification of the rule 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
↦
𝑋
​
(
Spec
​
(
𝑅
+
/
𝜛
)
perf
)
 where 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is affinoid perfectoid and 
𝜛
∈
𝑅
+
 is a pseudo-uniformizer. For a prekimberlite 
ℱ
 we get a map of v-sheaves 
SP
ℱ
:
ℱ
→
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. If 
𝑓
:
𝑉
→
ℱ
red
 is étale, quasicompact and separated then 
ℱ
^
/
𝑉
:=
ℱ
×
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is the étale formal neighborhood of 
ℱ
 with 
(
ℱ
^
/
𝑉
)
red
=
𝑉
. The two key ingredients are that for perfect schemes 
𝑋
 we have an identification 
(
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
)
red
=
𝑋
, and if 
𝑉
→
𝑋
 is étale then 
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
→
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is formally adic and étale. This later statement in turn reduces to the invariance of étale sites under nilpotent thickenings and perfection. Heuer’s construction also allows us to consider what we call formal neighborhoods. If 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite and 
𝑆
⊆
ℱ
red
 is a locally closed subscheme we can consider 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
:=
ℱ
×
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
𝑆
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. We always have 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
⊆
ℱ
 and when 
𝑆
 is constructible this is even an open immersion.1 This construction generalizes “completion” of a formal scheme along a locally closed immersion.

We are ready for the third approximation.

Definition 8.

Let 
ℱ
 be a prekimberlite.

(1) 

We say 
ℱ
 is valuative if 
SP
ℱ
:
ℱ
→
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is partially proper.

(2) 

A smelted kimberlite is a pair 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 where 
ℱ
 is a valuative prekimberlite, 
𝒟
 is a quasiseparated locally spatial diamond and 
𝒟
⊆
ℱ
an
 is open. The main cases of interest are when 
𝒟
=
ℱ
an
 or when 
𝒟
=
ℱ
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
Spd
​
(
ℚ
𝑝
)
.

(3) 

We define the specialization map 
sp
𝒦
:
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 as the composition 
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
|
→
sp
ℱ
|
ℱ
red
|
. If the context is clear we write 
sp
𝒟
 instead of 
sp
𝒦
.

(4) 

We say 
ℱ
 is a kimberlite if 
(
ℱ
,
ℱ
an
)
 is a smelted kimberlite and 
sp
ℱ
an
 is quasicompact.

The specialization map for kimberlites and smelted kimberlites is better behaved since it is even continuous for the constructible topology.

Theorem 9.

Let 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 be a smelted kimberlite and 
𝒢
 be a kimberlite, the following hold:

(1) 

sp
𝒟
:
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 is a specializing, spectral map of locally spectral spaces.

(2) 

sp
𝒢
an
:
|
𝒢
an
|
→
|
𝒢
red
|
 is also a closed map.

If 
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 is a smelted kimberlite and 
𝑆
⊆
|
ℱ
red
|
 we can define analogs of Berthelot tubes, by letting 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
=
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
×
ℱ
𝒟
. We call these spaces the tubular neighborhood of 
𝒟
 around 
𝑆
.

Finally, to study the 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians we introduce some “finiteness” and “normality” conditions.

Definition 10.

Let 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 a smelted kimberlite and 
𝒢
 a kimberlite.

(1) 

We say 
𝒟
 is a cJ-diamond (constructibly Jacobson) if rank 
1
 points are dense in the constructible topology of 
𝒟
.

(2) 

We say that 
𝒦
 is rich if: 
𝒟
 is a cJ-diamond, 
|
ℱ
red
|
 is locally Noetherian and 
sp
𝒟
:
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 is surjective.

(3) 

We say that 
𝒢
 is rich if: 
(
𝒢
,
𝒢
an
)
 is rich.

(4) 

If 
𝒦
 is rich we say it is topologically normal if for every closed point 
𝑥
∈
|
ℱ
red
|
 the tubular neighborhood 
𝒟
/
𝑥
⊚
 is connected.2

Let 
𝐺
 denote a reductive over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and let 
𝑇
⊆
𝐵
⊆
𝐺
 denote integrally defined maximal torus and Borel subgroups respectively. Let 
𝜇
∈
𝑋
∗
+
​
(
𝑇
ℚ
¯
𝑝
)
 be a dominant cocharacter with reflex field 
𝐸
⊆
ℚ
¯
𝑝
. Let 
𝑂
𝐸
 denote the ring of integers of 
𝐸
 and let 
𝑘
𝐸
 denote the residue field. Let 
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 denote the v-sheaf parametrizing 
𝐵
dR
+
-lattices with 
𝐺
-structure whose relative position is bounded by 
𝜇
 as in [20, Defintion 20.5.3] and let 
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 denote the Witt vector affine Grassmannian [22], [5]. Here is our result:

Theorem 11.

Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 is a topologically normal rich 
𝑝
-adic kimberlite with 
(
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
)
red
=
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
. In particular, the specialization map is a closed, surjective and spectral map of spectral topological spaces.

This result has partially been generalized in our collaboration [1]. There, we prove that the local models for parahoric groups are rich 
𝑝
-adic kimberlites. Nevertheless, we only improve the “normality” part of the result if we assume that 
𝜇
 is minuscule and outside certain cases in small characteristic.

In [9], we use normality of 
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 to prove normality of moduli spaces of 
𝑝
-adic shtukas which is a key step to prove the main theorem of [9] for the following reason. Classically, normality of formal scheme ensures that the generic fiber and special fibers have the same connected components. This also happens for rich smelted kimberlites.

We prove 11 by using a Demazure resolution. Our key observation is that one can do the Demazure resolution using either 
𝐵
dR
+
-coefficients or 
𝐴
inf
-coefficients. The use of 
𝐴
inf
-coefficients makes it clear that 
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 is v-formalizing. Normality of 
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 can be deduced from the normality of the source in the Demazure resolution, which in turn can be deduced inductively from it’s expression as iterated 
(
ℙ
1
)
♢
-bundles.

Let us comment on the organization of the paper.

I) 

In the first section, we give a short review of the theory of diamonds, the v-topology and some facts about spectral topological spaces. We also review Scholze’s 
♢
 functor that takes as input a pre-adic space over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and returns as output a v-sheaf.

II) 

In the second section, we introduce and study the olivine spectrum of a Huber pair. We prove 1 and 2.

III) 

In the third section, we review the small diamond functor 
⋄
. We prove the continuity of 
⋄
. We introduce the reduction functor as the right adjoint to 
⋄
. We introduce and study “formally adic” maps.

IV) 

In the fourth section, we develop our theory of specialization maps. We introduce specializing v-sheaves and prekimberlites. We introduce formal neighborhoods, étale formal neighborhoods and we prove 7. We introduce kimberlites, and smelted kimberlites and prove 9. We prove that formal schemes give rise to kimberlites. Finally, we introduce the finiteness and normality conditions.

V) 

In the fifth section, we study the specialization map for 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians. We review the contruction of twisted loop groups with 
𝐵
dR
+
 and 
𝐴
inf
 coefficients. We construct the two versions of the “integral” Demazure resolution. We prove 11.

1.The v-topology

We assume familiarity with the theory of perfectoid spaces and diamonds as discussed in [20, §7] or [18, §3]. For the most part the reader can ignore the set-theoretic subtleties that arise from the theory. Nevertheless, for some of our constructions set-theoretic carefulness is necessary.

1.1.Recollections on diamonds and small v-sheaves

We let 
Perfd
 denote the category of perfectoid spaces and 
Perf
 the subcategory of perfectoid spaces in characteristic 
𝑝
. Recall that we can endow 
Perfd
 with two Grothendieck topologies, called the pro-étale topology and v-topology respectively [18, Definition 7.8, Definition 8.1]. The following example of a cover for the v-topology will be used repeatedly.

Example 1.1.

Let 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be an affinoid perfectoid space, with pseudo-uniformizer 
𝜛
∈
𝐴
+
. Given 
𝑥
∈
|
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
 let 
𝜄
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be the residue field. By [17, Corollary 6.7], each 
Spa
​
(
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
 is perfectoid. Let 
𝑅
+
:=
∏
𝑥
∈
|
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
+
 endowed with the 
𝜛
-adic topology and let 
𝑅
=
𝑅
+
​
[
1
𝜛
]
. Then 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is perfectoid and 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is a v-cover.

If one replaces the role of 
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
 by a completed algebraic closure 
𝐶
​
(
𝑥
)
 of 
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
, and on considers 
𝑆
+
:=
∏
𝑥
∈
|
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
𝐶
​
(
𝑥
)
+
 where 
𝐶
​
(
𝑥
)
+
 denotes the integral closure of 
𝑘
​
(
𝑥
)
+
 in 
𝐶
​
(
𝑥
)
, then by letting 
𝑆
=
𝑆
+
​
[
1
𝜛
]
 we also have that 
Spa
​
(
𝑆
,
𝑆
+
)
 is perfectoid and that 
Spa
​
(
𝑆
,
𝑆
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is a v-cover.

Definition 1.2.

Let 
𝐼
 be a set and 
{
(
𝐶
𝑖
,
𝐶
𝑖
+
)
,
𝜛
𝑖
}
𝑖
∈
𝐼
 a collection of tuples where each 
𝐶
𝑖
 is an algebraically closed nonarchimedean field, the 
𝐶
𝑖
+
 are open and bounded valuation subrings of 
𝐶
𝑖
, and 
𝜛
𝑖
 is a of pseudo-uniformizer. Let 
𝑅
+
:=
∏
𝑖
∈
𝐼
𝐶
𝑖
+
, let 
𝜛
=
(
𝜛
𝑖
)
𝑖
∈
𝐼
, endow 
𝑅
+
 with the 
𝜛
-adic topology and let 
𝑅
:=
𝑅
+
​
[
1
𝜛
]
. Any space of the form 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 constructed in this way will be called a product of points.

Remark 1.3.

Different choices of pseudo-uniformizers 
(
𝜛
𝑖
)
𝑖
∈
𝐼
 give rise to different adic spaces. Also, 1.1 proves that products of points form a basis for the v-topology in the category of perfectoid spaces.

Recall the notion of totally disconnected spaces.

Definition 1.4.

([18, Definition 7.1, Definition 7.15, Lemma 7.5]) An affinoid perfectoid space 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is totally disconnected if it splits every open cover. Moreover, it is strictly totally disconnected if it splits every étale cover.

Proposition 1.5.

([18, Lemma 7.3, Proposition 7.16, Lemma 11.27]) Let 
𝑌
 be an affinoid perfectoid space. 
𝑌
 is represented by a strictly totally disconnected space if and only if every connected component of 
𝑌
 is represented by 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
 for 
𝐶
 an algebraically closed field and 
𝐶
+
 an open and bounded valuation subring.

Proposition 1.6.

Product of points are strictly totally disconnected perfectoid space.

Proof.

Fix notation as in 1.2. The closed-opens subsets of 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 are given by subsets of 
𝐼
. Every 
𝑥
∈
𝜋
0
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
)
 is computed as 
⋂
𝑈
∈
𝒰
𝑥
𝑈
 for some ultrafilter. This is a Zariski closed subsets cut out by an ideal of idempotents 
ℐ
𝑥
=
⟨
1
𝑉
⟩
, with 
𝑉
⊆
𝐼
 and 
𝑉
∉
𝒰
. The 
𝒪
+
-structure sheaf of 
𝑥
 is the 
𝜛
-completion of 
𝑅
+
/
ℐ
𝑥
. Let 
𝑉
=
𝑅
+
/
ℐ
𝑥
 and 
𝑉
′
 the 
𝜛
-adic completion of 
𝑉
. By 1.5, it suffices to prove that 
𝑉
′
 is a valuation ring with algebraically closed fraction field. This easily reduces to the same claim on 
𝑉
. It is not hard to see that 
Frac
​
(
𝑉
)
=
(
∏
𝑖
∈
𝐼
𝐶
𝑖
)
/
ℐ
𝑥
. Moreover, the properties of being a valuation ring or being an algebraically closed field can be expressed in first order logic so these properties pass to ultraproducts, alternatively we can cite [4, Lemma 3.27]. ∎

The v-topology on 
Perfd
 is subcanonical [18, Corollary 8.6]. We denote a perfectoid space and the sheaf it represents with the same letter. When a distinction is needed, if 
𝑋
 denotes a perfectoid space we denote by 
ℎ
𝑋
 the sheaf it represents. Let 
𝑌
 be a diamond [18, Definition 11.1], we recall the definition of its associated underlying topological space 
|
𝑌
|
.

Definition 1.7.

A map 
𝑝
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐾
+
)
→
𝑌
 is a point if 
𝐾
 is a perfectoid field in characteristic 
𝑝
 and 
𝐾
+
 is an open and bounded valuation subring of 
𝐾
. Two points 
𝑝
𝑖
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝑖
,
𝐾
𝑖
+
)
→
𝑌
, 
𝑖
∈
{
1
,
2
}
, are equivalent if there is a third point 
𝑝
3
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
3
,
𝐾
3
+
)
→
𝑌
, and surjective maps 
𝑞
𝑖
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
3
,
𝐾
3
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝑖
,
𝐾
𝑖
+
)
 making the following commutative diagram:

	
Spa
​
(
𝐾
1
,
𝐾
1
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐾
3
,
𝐾
3
+
)
𝑌
Spa
​
(
𝐾
2
,
𝐾
2
+
)
𝑝
1
𝑞
1
𝑞
2
𝑝
3
𝑝
2
	

We let 
|
𝑌
|
 denote the set of equivalence classes of points of 
𝑌
.

Scholze proves that if 
𝑌
 has a presentation 
𝑋
/
𝑅
 with 
𝑋
 and 
𝑅
 perfectoid, then there is canonical bijection between 
|
𝑌
|
 and 
|
𝑋
|
/
|
𝑅
|
. Moreover, the quotient topology on 
|
𝑌
|
 coming from the surjection 
|
𝑋
|
→
|
𝑌
|
 doesn’t depend on the presentation [18, Proposition 11.13]. Also, if 
𝑋
 is a perfectoid space, then 
ℎ
𝑋
 is a diamond and 
|
ℎ
𝑋
|
 is canonically homeomorphic to 
|
𝑋
|
.

We refer to sheaves on 
Perf
 for the v-topology as v-sheaves. Recall that a v-sheaf is said to be small if it admits a surjection from a representable sheaf. We denote by 
Perf
~
 the category of small v-sheaves. There’s a more explicit way of defining this. Given a cut-off cardinal 
𝜅
 ([18, §4, §8 ] for details) denote by 
Perf
𝜅
 the category of 
𝜅
-small perfectoid spaces in characteristic 
𝑝
 and by 
Perf
~
𝜅
 the topos of sheaves for the v-topology on this category. Objects in this topos are called 
𝜅
-small v-sheaves. We have natural fully-faithful embeddings 
Perf
~
𝜅
⊆
Perf
~
𝜆
 for 
𝜅
<
𝜆
 and 
Perf
~
=
⋃
𝜅
Perf
~
𝜅
 as a big filtered colimit over cut-off cardinals 
𝜅
.

Scholze associates to any small v-sheaf a topological space. The definition is similar to 1.7, with the role of perfectoid spaces exchanged by diamonds. The key point being that if 
𝑋
→
𝑌
 is a map of small v-sheaves with 
𝑋
 a diamond then 
𝑅
=
𝑋
×
𝑌
𝑋
 is also a diamond and 
𝑌
=
𝑋
/
𝑅
 [18, Proposition 12.3]. Scholze then defines 
|
𝑌
|
 as 
|
𝑋
|
/
|
𝑅
|
 with the quotient topology and by [18, Proposition 12.7] this is well defined. Given a topological space 
𝑇
 we can consider a presheaf on 
Perf
, denoted 
𝑇
¯
, defined as

	
𝑇
¯
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
=
{
𝑓
:
|
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
|
→
𝑇
∣
𝑓
​
is  continuous
}
	

This is a v-sheaf but it might not be small. There is a natural transformation, 
𝑋
→
|
𝑋
|
¯
 of v-sheaves. A morphism of small v-sheaves 
𝑗
:
𝑈
→
𝑋
 is open if it is relatively representable in perfectoid spaces and after basechange it becomes an open embedding of perfectoid spaces. Open subsheaves of 
𝑋
 are uniquely determined by open subsets of 
|
𝑋
|
 ([18, Proposition 11.15, Proposition 12.9]). The concept of closed immersion is a little more subtle. It is not a purely topological condition in the sense that closed subsheaves of 
ℱ
 are not in bijection with closed subsets of 
|
ℱ
|
. Indeed, there are more closed subsets than closed immersions.

Definition 1.8.

([18, Definition 10.7, Proposition 10.11, Definition 5.6] ) A map of sheaves 
ℱ
→
𝒢
 is a closed immersion if for every 
𝑋
=
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 a strictly totally disconnected space and a map 
𝑋
→
𝒢
 the pullback 
𝑋
×
ℱ
𝒢
⊆
𝑋
 is representable by a closed immersion of perfectoid spaces.

The following result characterizes closed immersions.

Proposition 1.9.

([1]) For a v-sheaf 
ℱ
 we say a subset 
𝑋
⊆
|
ℱ
|
 is weakly generalizing if for any geometric point 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
→
ℱ
 we have that 
𝑓
−
1
​
(
𝑋
)
⊆
|
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
|
 is stable under generization. For any v-sheaf 
ℱ
 the rule

	
𝑋
↦
ℱ
×
|
ℱ
|
¯
𝑋
¯
⊆
ℱ
	

gives a bijection between weakly generalizing closed subsets of 
|
ℱ
|
 and closed subsheaves of 
ℱ
.

1.2.Spectral spaces and locally spatial diamonds

We recall the basic theory of spectral topological spaces. This material is taken from section [18, §2 ] where most of the proofs can be found.

Definition 1.10.

Let 
𝑆
, 
𝑇
 be topological spaces, and 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 a continuous map.

(1) 

𝑇
 is spectral if it is quasicompact, quasiseparated, and it has a basis of open neighborhoods stable under intersection that consists of quasicompact and quasiseparated subsets.

(2) 

𝑇
 is locally spectral if it admits an open cover by spectral spaces.

(3) 

𝑓
 is a spectral map of spectral spaces if 
𝑆
 and 
𝑇
 is are spectral and 
𝑓
 is quasicompact.

(4) 

𝑓
 is a spectral map of locally spectral spaces if for every quasicompact open 
𝑈
⊆
𝑆
 and quasicompact open 
𝑉
⊆
𝑇
 with 
𝑓
​
(
𝑈
)
⊆
𝑉
 
𝑓
|
𝑈
:
𝑈
→
𝑉
 is spectral.

Theorem 1.11.

(Hochster) For a topological space 
𝑇
 the following are equivalent:

(1) 

𝑇
 is spectral.

(2) 

𝑇
 is homeomorphic to the spectrum of a ring.

(3) 

𝑇
 is a projective limit of finite 
𝑇
0
 topological spaces.

Moreover, the category of spectral topological spaces with spectral maps is equivalent to the pro-category of finite 
𝑇
0
 topological spaces.

Given a spectral space 
𝑇
, we say that a subset 
𝑆
 is constructible if it lies in the Boolean algebra generated by quasicompact open subsets of 
𝑇
. For a locally spectral space 
𝑇
, a subset 
𝑆
 is constructible if for every quasicompact open subset 
𝑈
⊆
𝑇
 the subset 
𝑆
∩
𝑈
 is constructible in 
𝑈
. The patch (or constructible) topology on 
𝑇
 is the one in which constructible subsets form a basis for the topology. A spectral space is Hausdorff and profinite for its patch topology and a locally spectral space is locally profinite for the patch topology.

Proposition 1.12.

A continuous map of locally spectral spaces 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 is spectral if and only if it is continuous for the patch topology.

Definition 1.13.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 be a continuous map of topological spaces.

(1) 

We say 
𝑓
 is generalizing if given 
𝑡
1
,
𝑡
2
∈
𝑇
 and 
𝑠
1
∈
𝑆
 with 
𝑓
​
(
𝑠
1
)
=
𝑡
1
 and such that 
𝑡
2
 generalizes 
𝑡
1
, then there exists an element 
𝑠
2
 generalizing 
𝑠
1
 with 
𝑓
​
(
𝑠
2
)
=
𝑡
2
.

(2) 

We say 
𝑓
 is specializing if given 
𝑡
1
,
𝑡
2
∈
𝑇
 and 
𝑠
1
∈
𝑆
 with 
𝑓
​
(
𝑠
1
)
=
𝑡
1
 and such that 
𝑡
2
 specializes from 
𝑡
1
, then there exists an element 
𝑠
2
 specializing from 
𝑠
1
 with 
𝑓
​
(
𝑠
2
)
=
𝑡
2
.

For a locally spectral space 
𝑇
 we say that a subset is pro-constructible if it is closed for the patch topology, or equivalently if it is an arbitrary intersection of constructible subsets.

Proposition 1.14.

([18, Lemma 2.4]) Let 
𝑇
 be a spectral space and 
𝑆
⊆
𝑇
 a pro-constructible subset. The closure 
𝑆
¯
 of 
𝑆
 in 
𝑇
 consists of the points that specialize from a point in 
𝑆
.

Corollary 1.15.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 be a spectral map of spectral spaces. If 
𝑓
 is specializing then it is also a closed map.

We warn the reader that the analogue of 1.15 for locally spectral spaces does not hold.

Proposition 1.16.

([18, Lemma 2.5]) Let 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 be a spectral map of spectral topological spaces. Assume 
𝑓
 is surjective and generalizing, then it is a quotient map.

Definition 1.17.

([18, Definition 11.17]) Let 
𝑋
 be a diamond. We say that 
𝑋
 is a spatial diamond if it is quasicompact, quasiseparated and 
|
𝑋
|
 has a basis of open neighborhoods of the form 
|
𝑈
|
 where 
𝑈
⊆
𝑋
 is a quasicompact open embedding. We say that 
𝑋
 is locally spatial if it has an open cover by spatial diamonds.

The topology of spatial diamonds is spectral. Nevertheless, a diamond that has a spectral underlying topological space might not necessarily be spatial since the quasicompactness and quasiseparatedness conditions of 1.17 are imposed in the topos-theoretic sense.

Proposition 1.18.

([18, Proposition 11.18, Proposition 11.19]) Let 
𝑋
 and 
𝑌
 be locally spatial diamonds and 
𝑓
:
𝑋
→
𝑌
 a morphism of v-sheaves. The following assertions hold:

(1) 

|
𝑋
|
 is a locally spectral topological space.

(2) 

Any open subfunctor 
𝑈
⊆
𝑋
 is a locally spatial diamond.

(3) 

|
𝑋
|
 is quasicompact (respectively quasiseparated) as a topological space if and only if 
𝑋
 is quasicompact (respectively quasiseparated) as a v-sheaf.

(4) 

The topological map 
|
𝑓
|
 is spectral and generalizing. In particular, if 
|
𝑋
|
 is quasicompact and 
|

 is surjective then by 1.16 it is also a quotient map.

1.3.Pre-adic spaces as v-sheaves

The theory of diamonds is mainly of “analytic” nature. On the other hand, we wish to consider spaces that are closer to schemes or formal schemes. The category of v-sheaves allows us to consider these three types of spaces at the same time. Recall that to any Huber pair 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 we can associate a pre-adic space, 
Spa
ind
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
, as in [20, Appendix to Lecture 3]. One then constructs pre-adic spaces by appropriately glueing along rational covers.3 Every pre-adic space 
𝑋
 has an underlying topological space, and we can define the open analytic locus 
|
𝑋
|
an
 and the non-analytic locus 
|
𝑋
|
na
 in the naive way. That is, a point 
𝑥
∈
|
𝑋
|
 is analytic if for every open affinoid 
𝑥
∈
Spa
ind
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
⊆
|
𝑋
|
 (equivalently one affinoid) 
𝑥
 is analytic in 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
.

Proposition 1.19.

Given a pre-adic space 
𝑋
 there is a reduced non-analytic adic space 
𝑋
na
 and a map 
𝑋
na
→
𝑋
 which is final in the category of maps 
𝑌
→
𝑋
 with 
𝑌
 a reduced non-analytic adic space. Moreover, the map 
|
𝑋
na
|
→
|
𝑋
|
na
 is a homeomorphism.

Proof.

In the affinoid case 
Spa
ind
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
na
=
Spa
​
(
𝐴
/
𝐴
∘
∘
⋅
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
/
𝐴
∘
∘
⋅
𝐴
+
)
. Since 
𝐴
/
(
𝐴
∘
∘
⋅
𝐴
)
 is discrete it is sheafy. Moreover, if 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is discrete then 
Hom
​
(
Spa
ind
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
,
Spa
ind
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
)
 is in bijection with maps 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. Topological nilpotents map to 
0
 in 
𝐵
 which proves the universal property. The claim of topological spaces is clear. For general pre-adic space 
𝑋
 we define 
𝑋
na
 to have underlying topological space 
|
𝑋
|
na
 and if 
𝑉
⊆
|
𝑋
na
|
 is of the form 
𝑈
∩
|
𝑋
|
na
 for 
𝑈
⊆
|
𝑋
|
 open and of the form 
𝑈
=
Spa
ind
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 we let 
𝒪
𝑋
na
ind
​
(
𝑉
)
:=
𝒪
𝑋
ind
​
(
𝑈
)
/
𝐴
∘
∘
⋅
𝒪
𝑋
ind
​
(
𝑈
)
. Since the construction 
𝐴
↦
𝐴
/
𝐴
∘
∘
 is compatible with rational localization 
𝒪
𝑋
na
ind
​
(
𝑉
)
 is well-defined and glues to a sheaf of ind-topological rings on 
𝑋
na
. Moreover, locally the ind-topological rings come from a topological ring because 
𝐴
/
𝐴
∘
∘
 is sheafy. This implies 
𝑋
na
 is an adic space. ∎

Recall that to any pre-adic space 
𝑋
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
 one can associate a small v-sheaf 
𝑋
♢
 over 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
. This is done by letting 
Spd
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
(
𝑌
)
=
{
(
𝑌
♯
,
𝜄
)
}
/
≅
 and letting 
𝑋
♢
(
𝑌
)
=
{
(
𝑌
♯
,
𝜄
,
𝑓
)
}
/
≅
, where 
𝑌
♯
∈
Perfd
, 
𝜄
:
(
𝑌
♯
)
♭
→
𝑌
 is an isomorphism, and 
𝑓
:
𝑌
♯
→
𝑋
 is a morphism of pre-adic spaces.

Proposition 1.20.

([20, Lemma 18.1.1]) For any pre-adic space 
𝑋
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
 (not necessarily analytic), the presheaf 
𝑋
♢
 is a small v-sheaf.

From now on, given a Huber pair 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 we denote 
(
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
ind
)
♢
 by 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
. If 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is a Huber pair for which 
𝑅
+
=
𝑅
∘
 we will abbreviate 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 and 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 by 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
)
 and 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
)
. For example, 
Spd
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
)
, 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
, 
Spd
​
(
ℚ
𝑝
)
. Given an 
𝐼
-adic ring 
𝑅
 with 
𝐼
⊆
𝑅
 finitely generated, we will say that 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
)
 is a “formal” Huber pair.

Proposition 1.21.

We collect some facts about 
♢
, that are either in the literature or not hard to prove. Let 
PreAd
ℤ
𝑝
 denote the category of pre-adic spaces over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and let 
𝑋
∈
PreAd
ℤ
𝑝
.

(1) 

If 
𝑋
 is perfectoid, then 
𝑋
♢
≅
ℎ
𝑋
♭
 [18, Lemma 15.2].

(2) 

There is a surjective map of topological spaces 
|
𝑋
♢
|
→
|
𝑋
|
 [20, Proposition 18.2.2].

(3) 

If 
𝑋
 is analytic, then 
𝑋
♢
 is a locally spatial diamond and 
|
𝑋
♢
|
≅
|
𝑋
|
, [18, Lemma 15.6].

(4) 

The functor 
♢
:
PreAd
ℤ
𝑝
→
Perf
~
 commutes with limits and colimits. More precisely, if 
𝑋
𝑖
 is a family of pre-adic spaces and 
lim
→
𝑖
∈
𝐼
⁡
𝑋
𝑖
 (respectively 
lim
←
𝑖
∈
𝐼
⁡
𝑋
𝑖
) is represented by a pre-adic space 
𝑋
 then 
𝑋
♢
=
lim
→
𝑖
∈
𝐼
⁡
𝑋
𝑖
♢
 (respectively 
𝑋
♢
=
lim
←
𝑖
∈
𝐼
⁡
𝑋
𝑖
♢
).

(5) 

The structure map 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is separated.

(6) 

The map 
(
𝑋
na
)
♢
→
𝑋
♢
 is a closed immersion and 
𝑋
♢
∖
(
𝑋
na
)
♢
=
(
𝑋
an
)
♢
.

2.The olivine spectrum

As we will see below, the map 
|
𝑋
♢
|
→
|
𝑋
|
 of item 2 in 1.21 is usually not injective when 
𝑋
 has non-analytic points. Although the map is always surjective, it might not be a quotient map in pathological and drastic non-Noetherian situations. To develop a theory of specialization maps for v-sheaves, we need better understanding of 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
|
 when 
𝐴
 is an 
𝐼
-adic ring over 
ℤ
𝑝
. To tackle this difficulty, we introduce what we call the olivine spectrum of a Huber pair. It is a small variation of Huber’s adic spectrum with a diamond-like twist. Under some mild “finiteness” conditions we prove that the olivine spectrum recovers 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
. For the rest of the section we fix 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 a Huber pair (not necessarily over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and not necessarily complete).

2.1.Review, terminology and conventions

We assume familiarity with the construction of Huber’s adic spectrum, 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, but we review some definitions, some key facts, and we fix some terminology. Let 
𝑥
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 and fix a representative 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
:
𝐵
→
Γ
𝑥
∪
{
0
}
.

(1) 

The support 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
⊆
𝐵
 is the prime ideal of 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
 with 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
=
0
.

(2) 

We say 
𝑥
 is non-analytic if 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
 is open in 
𝐵
, we say it is analytic otherwise.

(3) 

Let 
𝐻
⊆
Γ
𝑥
 be a convex subgroup. We let 
|
⋅
|
𝑦
:
𝐵
→
(
Γ
𝑥
/
𝐻
)
∪
{
0
}
 with 
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
=
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
+
𝐻
∈
Γ
𝑥
/
𝐻
 when 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
≠
0
 and 
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
=
0
 when 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
=
0
. Equivalence classes of valuations constructed this way are called a vertical generizations of 
𝑥
.

(4) 

There is a residue field map of complete Huber pairs 
𝜄
𝑥
∗
:
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
, where 
𝐾
𝑥
 is either a discrete field or a complete nonarchimedean field. In both cases, 
𝐾
𝑥
+
 is an open and bounded valuation subring of 
𝐾
𝑥
. The induced map 
𝜄
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is a homeomorphism onto the subspace of 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 of continuous vertical generizations of 
𝑥
 and satisfies the universal property of maps that factor through this locus.

(5) 

Residue fields relate to vertical generizations as follows. Let 
𝐾
𝑥
∘
 be the subring of power-bounded elements in 
𝐾
𝑥
. If 
𝑦
 is a continuous vertical generizations of 
𝑥
 we let 
𝐾
𝑦
+
=
{
𝑏
∈
𝐾
𝑥
∣
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
≤
1
}
. This gives a bijection between the set of continuous vertical generizations of 
𝑥
 and valuation rings of 
𝐾
𝑥
 with 
𝐾
𝑥
∘
⊇
𝐾
𝑦
+
⊇
𝐾
𝑥
+
. Moreover, the residue field at 
𝑦
 is 
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑦
+
)
.

(6) 

We say 
𝑥
 is trivial if 
Γ
𝑥
=
{
1
}
. In this case, 
𝐾
𝑥
 is discrete.

(7) 

We say that a valuation is microbial if it has a non-trivial rank 
1
 vertical generization.

(8) 

For technical reasons we take the convention that trivial valuations have rank 
0
.

(9) 

The characteristic subgroup of 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
, denoted by 
𝑐
​
Γ
𝑥
, is the smallest convex subgroup of 
Γ
𝑥
 containing 
𝛾
=
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
 for all 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
 with 
1
≤
𝛾
.

(10) 

Given a convex subgroup 
𝐻
⊆
Γ
𝑥
 containing 
𝑐
​
Γ
𝑥
, we define 
|
⋅
|
𝑦
:
𝐵
→
𝐻
∪
{
0
}
 with 
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
=
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
 if 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
∈
𝐻
 and 
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
=
0
 otherwise. Equivalence classes of valuations constructed in this way are called horizontal specializations of 
𝑥
.

(11) 

Residue fields relate to horizontal specializations as follows. Let 
𝐾
𝐵
 be the subring of 
𝐾
𝑥
 generated by 
𝐾
𝑥
+
 and the image of 
𝐵
 in 
𝐾
𝑥
. Consider the induced map 
𝑓
:
Spec
​
(
𝐾
𝐵
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
. Horizontal specializations of 
𝑥
 are in bijection with prime ideals of 
𝐵
 that are in the image of 
𝑓
. For a convex subgroup 
𝐻
 containing 
𝑐
​
Γ
𝑥
 and inducing 
𝑦
, the associated prime ideal 
𝔭
𝑦
=
{
𝑏
∈
𝐵
∣
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
<
𝛾
​
 for 
​
𝛾
∈
𝐻
}
. We sometimes denote 
|
⋅
|
𝑦
 by 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
/
𝔭
𝑦
.

(12) 

Given a topological space 
𝑇
 we construct a partial order on 
𝑇
 by letting 
𝑡
1
⪯
𝑇
𝑡
2
 if 
𝑡
1
∈
{
𝑡
2
}
¯
. We call this partial order the generization pattern of 
𝑇
. We use 
⪯
𝐵
 instead when 
𝑇
=
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
.

(13) 

The generization pattern of 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is determined by vertical generizations and horizontal specializations. More precisely, letting 
(
𝑦
,
𝑧
)
∈
𝑅
 if 
𝑧
 is a vertical generization of 
𝑦
 or if 
𝑦
 is horizontal specialization of 
𝑧
. Then 
⪯
𝐵
 is the transitive closure of 
𝑅
.

2.2.Definitions and basic properties
Definition 2.1.

We define a topological space 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 which we call the olivine spectrum of 
𝐵
.

(1) 

Let 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
⊆
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
2
 consist of pairs, 
𝑥
:=
(
|
⋅
|
𝑥
ℎ
,
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
)
, such that 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 has rank 
1
 or 
0
 and is a vertical generization of 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
ℎ
.

(2) 

Pick 
𝑏
1
,
𝑏
2
∈
𝐵
 and let 
𝑈
𝑏
1
≤
𝑏
2
≠
0
=
{
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
∣
|
𝑏
1
|
𝑥
ℎ
≤
|
𝑏
2
|
𝑥
ℎ
≠
0
}
, we call such subsets classical localizations.

(3) 

Pick 
𝑏
1
,
𝑏
2
∈
𝐵
 and let 
𝑁
𝑏
1
≪
𝑏
2
=
{
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
∣
|
𝑏
1
|
𝑥
𝑎
<
|
𝑏
2
|
𝑥
𝑎
≠
0
}
, we call such subsets analytic localizations.

(4) 

We endow 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 with the topology generated by classical and analytic localizations.

We denote by 
ℎ
:
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 the first coordinate projection, this map is continuous and surjective. Moreover, both 
Spo
 and 
ℎ
 are functorial.

Definition 2.2.

Let 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
.

(1) 

We say that 
𝑥
 is discrete if 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 is trivial. We say that a discrete point is microbial if 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is microbial. We say that a discrete point is algebraic if 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
ℎ
 is trivial.

(2) 

We say that 
𝑥
 is d-analytic if 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 is non-trivial. Suppose that 
𝑥
 is d-analytic, we say that it is analytic if 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is analytic and we say it is meromorphic otherwise.

(3) 

We say that 
𝑥
 is bounded if 
|
𝐵
|
𝑥
𝑎
≤
1
.

(4) 

We say that 
𝑥
 is formal if it is bounded and d-analytic.

For 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 the set 
ℎ
−
1
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
 has at most one d-analytic point and at most one discrete point. Consequently, 
𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝
​
(
ℎ
−
1
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
)
∈
{
1
,
2
}
. Moreover, 
𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝
​
(
ℎ
−
1
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
)
=
2
 if and only if 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is discrete and 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is microbial. The definitions are made so that 
𝑥
 is analytic if and only if 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is, and in this way we can talk about the analytic locus. Nevertheless, with our terminology, there is no longer a dichotomy since meromorphic points are not analytic but they are also not discrete.

We define the bounded locus, and denote it 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
†
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, as the subset of bounded points. This is a closed subset with complement of 
∪
𝑏
∈
𝐵
𝑁
1
≪
𝑏
.

Remark 2.3.

Let us comment on the terminology chosen. By construction, the olivine spectrum has more points than Huber’s adic spectrum. Algebraic points of 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 are in bijection with the usual Zariski spectrum of 
𝐵
/
𝐵
∘
∘
. Discrete points are in bijection with the non-analytic points of Huber. Later on we will realize that when 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is defined over 
ℤ
𝑝
 the d-analytic points of 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 correspond to those points whose residue field is a diamond. Among d-analytic points only those that are analytic are in bijection with the analytic points of Huber. The terms formal and meromorphic stem from 2.6. The term bounded stems from the fact that the bounded locus on 
Spd
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
𝑡
]
,
𝔽
𝑝
)
 agrees with the functor sending a pair 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 to the set of power-bounded elements 
𝑅
∘
.

Definition 2.4.

Let 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, we let 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
:=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
, this is the support ideal. We let 
𝐬𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
=
{
𝑏
∈
𝐵
+
∣
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
ℎ
<
1
}
, this is the specialization ideal. If 
𝑥
 is bounded, we let 
𝐝𝐞𝐟
​
(
𝑥
)
=
{
𝑏
∈
𝐵
∣
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
𝑎
<
1
}
, this is the deformation ideal.

Remark 2.5.

The specialization ideal will be key for us later when we discuss the specialization map for specializing v-sheaves. In contrast to Huber’s theory, the discrete point that one can construct by killing the elements of the specialization ideal does not always lie in the topological closure of our original point. For this reason we also have to consider what we call the deformation ideal.

Notice that 
𝑥
 is bounded if and only if 
𝑐
​
Γ
𝑥
𝑎
=
{
1
}
, this only happens if 
𝑥
 is either discrete or formal. If 
𝑥
 is bounded, it is discrete whenever 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
=
𝐝𝐞𝐟
​
(
𝑥
)
 and it is formal otherwise.

Definition 2.6.

Let 
𝑥
 and 
𝑦
 be two points in 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
.

(1) 

𝑦
 is a vertical generization of 
𝑥
 (
𝑥
 a vertical specialization of 
𝑦
 respectively) if 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
=
|
⋅
|
𝑦
𝑎
 and 
|
⋅
|
𝑦
ℎ
 is a vertical generization of 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
ℎ
 in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. We abbreviate this as 
𝑦
 is v.g. of 
𝑥
 (
𝑥
 is v.s. of 
𝑦
 respectively).

Remark 2.7.

In Huber’s theory there are two distinguished types of specialization, namely vertical specializations and horizontal specializations. We consider three distinguished types of specialization. The vertical specializations we consider arise in the same way as Huber’s vertical generizations and have the same behavior. In contrast, Huber’s horizontal specializations are replaced by meromorphic and formal specializations. In very rough terms, a formal generization is what you obtain when you replace the equation 
𝑏
=
0
 by asking instead the condition that 
𝑏
 is a topologically nilpotent unit. Analogously, a meromorphic specialization is what you obtain when you replace the condition that 
𝑏
 is a topologically nilpotent unit by the condition that 
|
𝑏
|
<
1
 but for all 
𝜖
∈
(
0
,
1
)
 
𝜖
<
|
𝑏
|
. One can think of the locus 
{
𝑏
=
0
}
 as one discrete end, the locus 
{
1
>
𝑏
>
𝜖
}
 as the opposite discrete end, and the locus where 
𝑏
 is a topologically nilpotent unit as the analytic in-between that specializes to both ends through the formal specialization and meromorphic specialization respectively.

Given 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
 let 
ℐ
⪯
​
(

 denote the set of generizations of 
𝑥
 in 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 and let 
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥

 denote the set of vertical generizations of 
𝑥
. If the context is clear, for a point 
𝑦
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

 we will also use 
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑦
)
 to denote the vertical generizations of 
𝑦
 in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. Let us make some easy observations and set some convenient notation:

(1) 

If 
𝑥
 is discrete it has a meromorphic generization (necessarily unique) if and only if 
𝑥
 is microbial. We denote this generization by 
𝑥
mer
.

(2) 

If 
𝑥
 is meromorphic it has a unique meromorphic specialization, we denote it by 
𝑥
mer
.

(3) 

If 
𝑥
 is formal it has a unique formal specialization, we denote it by 
𝑥
for
. If 
𝑥
 is discrete, we let 
𝑥
For
 denote the set of formal generizations of 
𝑥
.

We recommend the reader to work through the following example confirming all of the claims.

Example 2.8.

Let 
𝐵
=
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
[
𝑢
]
]
 endowed with the discrete topology, then 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
)
 consists of 
3
 points:

	
{
𝜂
=
|
⋅
|
𝜂
,
𝑠
=
|
⋅
|
𝑠
,
𝑡
=
|
⋅
|
𝑡
}
	

Here 
|
⋅
|
𝜂
 is the trivial valuation with residue field 
𝔽
𝑝
​
(
(
𝑢
)
)
, 
|
⋅
|
𝑠
 is the trivial valuation with residue field 
𝔽
𝑝
 and 
|
⋅
|
𝑡
 is the 
(
𝑢
)
-adic valuation on 
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
[
𝑢
]
]
 with residue affinoid field 
(
𝔽
𝑝
​
(
(
𝑢
)
)
,
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
[
𝑢
]
]
)
. All valuations have rank 
1
 or 
0
. The only non-trivial vertical generization in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
)
 goes from 
|
⋅
|
𝑡
 to 
|
⋅
|
𝜂
.

On the other hand, 
𝑆
​
𝑝
​
𝑜
​
(
𝐵
)
 has 
4
 points:

	
{
𝜂
:=
(
|
⋅
|
𝜂
,
|
⋅
|
𝜂
)
,
𝑠
:=
(
|

|

|
𝑠
)
,
𝑡
f
:=
(
|

|
𝑡
)
,
𝑡
d
:=
(
|
⋅
|
𝑡
,
|
⋅
|
𝜂
)
}
	

Now, 
{
𝜂
}
=
𝑈
1
≤
𝑢
≠
0
, 
{
𝜂
,
𝑡
d
,
𝑡
f

{

=

𝑢
2
≪
𝑢
 and 
{
𝑡
f
,
𝑠
}
=
𝑁
𝑢
≪
1
, and these are the only proper open subsets. Here 
𝑠
, 
𝜂
 and 
𝑡
d
 are discrete. Moreover, 
𝑡
d
 is microbial, and 
𝑡
f
 is both a meromorphic and formal d-analytic point.

The generization pattern is: 
𝜂
 is a vertical generization of 
𝑡
d
, 
𝑡
d
 is the meromorphic specialization of 
𝑡
f
, and 
𝑠
 is the formal specialization of

. We have

The following shows that the v.g., f.s. and m.s. determine the generization pattern in 
Spo
​
(

.

Proposition 2.9.

Let 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
.

(1) 

If 
𝑥
 is d-analytic then 
ℐ
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
=
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
.

(2) 

If 
𝑥
 is discrete then 
ℐ
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
=
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
∪
ℐ

𝑥
mer
)
∪
(
⋃
𝑧
∈
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
𝑧
For
)
.

Proof.

We prove the right to left side. Let 
𝑦
∈
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
∪
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
mer
)
∪
(
⋃
𝑧

ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
𝑧
For
)
 if 
𝑥
 is discrete and let 
𝑦
∈
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
 otherwise. Since 
ℎ
 is continuous, 
𝑦
 is in every classical localization of 
𝑥
, so it suffices to check analytic localizations. Suppose 
𝑥
∈
𝑁
𝑏
1
≪
𝑏
2
, if 
𝑦
 is a v.g. of 
𝑥
 then 
|
⋅
|
𝑦
𝑎
=
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 so 
𝑦
∈
𝑁
𝑏
1
≪
𝑏
2
. If 
𝑥
 is discrete, then 
|
𝑏
1
|
𝑥
𝑎
=
0
 and 
|
𝑏
2
|
𝑥
𝑎
=
1
, this implies 
|
𝑏
1
|
𝑥
mer
𝑎
=
0
 and that 
|
𝑏
2
|
𝑥
mer
𝑎
≠
0
, so 
𝑥
mer
∈
𝑁
𝑏
1
≪
𝑏
2
 in case 
𝑥
mer
 exists. Moreover, if 
𝑦
∈
𝑥
For
 then 
𝐝𝐞𝐟
​
(
𝑦
)
=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
 so that 
|
𝑏
1
|
𝑦
𝑎
<
1
, 
|
𝑏
2
|
𝑦
𝑎
=
1
, and 
𝑥
For
∈
𝑁
𝑏
1
≪
𝑏
2
.

We prove the left to right side, let 
𝑦
∈
ℐ
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
. With classical localizations we deduce 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑦
)
⊆
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
, and if 
𝑥
 is d-analytic we claim that 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑦
)
=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
. Indeed, let 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
 such that 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
𝑎
∉
{
0
,
1
}
, and let 
𝑏
1
∈
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
. If 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
𝑎
<
1
 then 
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
𝑎
<
1
, which implies that 
𝑦
 is d-analytic. Additionally, the inequalities 
|
𝑏
1
|
𝑦
𝑎
<
|
𝑏
𝑛
|
𝑦
𝑎
 hold for all 
𝑛
 since 
𝑥
∈
𝑁
𝑏
1
≪
𝑏
𝑛
. Similarly, if 
1
<
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
𝑎
 then 
1
<
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
𝑎
 and 
|
𝑏
1
⋅
𝑏
𝑛
|
𝑦
𝑎
<
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
𝑎
 hold instead. In both cases, the archimedean property of rank 
1
 valuations prove 
𝑏
1
∈
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑦
)
. Since the only generizations of 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 with the same support are v.g. we get 
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
∈
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
 and 
𝑦
∈
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
 for 
𝑥
 d-analytic.

Suppose 
𝑥
 is discrete, if 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑦
)
 we can reason as above. Let 
𝑏
∈
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
∖
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑦
)
. Since 
𝑥
∈
𝑁
𝑏
≪
1
 we have 
0
<
|
𝑏
|
𝑦
𝑎
<
1
 and that 
𝑦
 is d-analytic. For all 
𝑏
1
∈
𝐵
 
|
𝑏
⋅
𝑏
1
𝑛
|
𝑦
𝑎
<
1
 holds and 
𝑦
 is formal with 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
⊆
𝐝𝐞𝐟
​
(
𝑦
)
. If 
𝑏
2
∉
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
 then 
𝑥
∈
𝑈
𝑏
≤
𝑏
2
𝑛
≠
0
 for all 
𝑛
, giving 
|
𝑏
2
|
𝑦
𝑎
=
1
 and 
𝐝𝐞𝐟
​
(
𝑦
)
=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
. Let 
𝑧
=
𝑦
for
 then 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑧
)
=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
 and it follows from the construction of horizontal specializations that 
𝑧
∈
ℐ
⪯
​
(
𝑥

. As above, 
ℎ
​
(
𝑧
)
 is a v.g. of 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥

, and since both 
𝑧
 and 
𝑥
 are discrete then 
𝑧
 is a v.g. of

The following example is key to the prove 2.33 and 2. We encourage the reader to workout this example carefully. Recalling 2.8 under this light might be helpful.

Example 2.12.

Suppose 
𝐵
+
⊆
𝐵
 are valuation rings with 
Frac
​
(
𝐵
)
=
Frac
​
(
𝐵
+
)
 both with the discrete topology. We describe 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 in two steps: first observe that 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐵
+
,
𝐵
+
)
 and that it acquires the subspace topology. Indeed, this follows from 2.11 and the identification 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
=
∩
𝑏
∈
𝐵

𝐵
+
𝑈
0
≤
𝑏
≠
0
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐵
+
,
𝐵

)
.

Second, we describe 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
+
,
𝐵
+
)
 explicitly using that all points are bounded and admit a deformation ideal. Since 
𝐵
+
 is a valuation ring elements of 
Spa
​
(
𝐵

,
𝐵

)
 are determined by their support and specialization ideals. Consider the map 
Spo

2.3.Olivine Huber pairs

For the rest of the section 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 denotes a complete Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
.

Proposition 2.13.

If 
𝑅
 is a Tate Huber pair, then 
ℎ
:
Spo
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is a homeomorphism.

Proof.

Since 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is Tate, 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 has no trivial continuous valuations and 
ℎ
 is injective. If 
𝑥
𝑎
 is the maximal generization of 
𝑥
 in 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 then 
ℎ
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
=
{
(
𝑥
,
𝑥
𝑎
)
}
. It suffices to prove that 
ℎ
​
(
𝑁
𝑟
1
≪
𝑟
2
)
 is open. But if 
𝜛
∈
𝑅
 is a topologically nilpotent unit, then 
ℎ
​
(
𝑁
𝑟
1
≪
𝑟
2
)
=
⋃
0
<
𝑛
{
𝑧

𝑛

𝑧

}
. ∎

We define a canonical map 
𝜋
:
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
→
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

 as follows.4 Given 
[
𝑥
]
∈
|
Spd
​
(

 represented by a map 
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝑥
♯
,
𝐶
𝑥
♯
,
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, we can define 
𝜋
​
(
[
𝑥
]
)
=
(
𝑥
​
(
𝑠
)
,
𝑥
​
(
𝜂
)
)
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

)
2
 where 
𝑠
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝑥
♯
,
𝐶
𝑥
♯
,
+
)
 is the closed point and 
𝜂
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝑥
♯
,
𝐶
𝑥
♯
,
+
)
 is the unique rank one point. Then 
𝑥
​
(
𝜂
)
 has rank 
≤
1
 and is a vertical generization of 
𝑥
​
(
𝑠
)
, so 
(
𝑥
​
(
𝑠
)
,
𝑥
​
(
𝜂
)
)
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵

.

Proposition 2.14.

The map 
𝜋
:
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
→
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 defined above is continuous and bijective.

Proof.

Continuity follows from 1.7 and 2.13. For injectivity, take points 
𝑦
1
,
𝑦
2
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝑖
,
𝐶
𝑖
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 with 
𝜋
(
𝑦
1
)
=
𝜋
(
𝑦
2
)
=
:
𝑥
. Let 
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
 be the residue field 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. The maps 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐶
𝑖
♯
,
𝐶
𝑖
♯
,
+
)
 factor through 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
. Let 
𝑠
𝑖
 be the closed point of 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝑖
,
𝐶
𝑖
+
)
, we show that the 
𝑠
𝑖
 define the same point. We split our analysis in three cases.

Case 1: Suppose that 
𝑥
 is analytic. In this case, 
𝑠
1
 and 
𝑠
2
 map to 
ℎ
​
(
𝜋
​
(
𝑥
)
)
 in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
an
. This case follows from the bijectivity of 
|
𝑋
♢
|
→
|
𝑋
|
 for analytic pre-adic spaces (1.21).

Case 2: Suppose that 
𝑥
 is meromorphic, then 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is non-analytic in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. Let 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
∘
:=
{
𝑘
∈
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
∣
|
𝑘
|
𝑥
𝑎
≤
1
}
 since 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 is non-trivial 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
∘
≠
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
. Choose 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
 with 
0
<
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
𝑎
<
1
 or 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
𝑎
>
1
. The subspace topology of 
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
∘
)
⊆
𝑦
𝑖
∗
𝑂
𝐶
𝑖
♯
 is either the 
(
𝑏
)
-adic topology or the 
(
1
𝑏
)
-adic topology. After taking completion we get a commutative diagram:

Spa
​
(
𝐶
1
,
𝐶
1
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐶
2
,
𝐶

)
Spd
​

,
𝐾

𝑥

Now, 
𝑝
1
′
​
(
𝑠
1
)
=
𝑝
2
′
​
(
𝑠
2
)
 in 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥

+
)
. Since 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
 is analytic we may conclude as in the first case.

Case 3: Suppose that 
𝑥
 is discrete, in this case 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 is non-analytic in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 and 
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
 has the discrete topology. Since 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 is trivial, 
𝑦
𝑖
∗
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
⊆
𝑂
𝐶
𝑖
♯
,
×
. After choosing pseudo-uniformizers 
𝜛
𝑖
∈
𝑂
𝐶
𝑖
♯
 we may extend the 
𝑦
𝑖
 to continuous adic maps of topological rings 
𝑝
𝑖
′
⁣
∗
:
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
[
[
𝑡
]
]
→
𝑂
𝐶
𝑖
♯
 where 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
[
[
𝑡
]
]
 has the 
(
𝑡
)
-adic topology. These induce the following commutative diagram:

Spa
​
(
𝐶
1
,
𝐶
1
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐶
2
,
𝐶
2

)
Spd
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥

​
(
(

)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
+
𝑡
⋅
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥

​
[
[
𝑡

]
)
Spd
​
(
𝐾

​
(
𝑥

,
𝐾

​

𝑥
)
+
)
𝑝
1
′
𝑦
1
𝑝
2

𝑦
2
𝜄
𝑥

Again, 
𝑝
1
′
​
(
𝑠
1
)
=
𝑝
2
′
​
(
𝑠
2
)
 in 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
(
(
𝑡

)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
+
𝑡
⋅
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
[
[
𝑡
]
]
)
 which is also analytic.

The case by case study given above also shows that 
𝜋
 is surjective. Indeed, we can take a completed algebraic closures of 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 (
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
, or 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
(
(
𝑡
)
)
 respectively) when 
𝑥
 is analytic (meromorphic or discrete respectively). ∎

Definition 2.15.

Whenever 
𝑥
 is d-analytic we let 
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
 denote 
(
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
^
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
, and if 
𝑥
 is discrete we let 
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
 denote 
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
(
(
𝑡
)
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
+
𝑡
⋅
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
​
[
[
𝑡
]
]
)
 as in the proof of 2.14. In both cases we call 
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
 the pseudo-residue field at 
𝑥
.

Remark 2.16.

The pseudo-residue field map 
Spo
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
 is a homeomorphism onto its image. The functor 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 surjects onto the subsheaf of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 consisting of maps that factor through 
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
, but when 
𝑥
 is discrete the map 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is not injective. Actually, when 
𝑥
 is discrete and 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
ℎ
 is non-trivial the subsheaf of points that factor through 
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
 is not representable by an adic space.

Corollary 2.17.

For any map of Huber pairs 
𝑚
∗
:
(
𝐵
1
,
𝐵
1
+
)
→
(
𝐵
2
,
𝐵
2
+
)
 the map 
Spo
​
(
𝑚
)
 is compatible with v.g.. More precisely, if 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
2
,
𝐵
2
+
)
, 
𝑦
=
Spo
​
(
𝑚
)
​
(
𝑥
)
 and 
𝑦
′
 is a v.g. of 
𝑦
 then there exist 
𝑥
′
, a v.g. of 
𝑥
, with 
Spo
​
(
𝑚
)
​
(
𝑥
′
)
=
𝑦
′
.

Proof.

Given 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
2
,
𝐵
2
+
)
 and 
𝑦
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵
1
,
𝐵
1
+
)
 as in the statement we may, after making some choices if necessary, construct the following commutative diagram of pseudo-residue fields:

Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑦
,
𝐾
𝑦

Spd
​
(
𝐵
2
,
𝐵
2
+
)
Spd
​
(
𝐵
1
,
𝐵
1
+
)

Since the map 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑦
,
𝐾
𝑦
+
)
 is a map of locally spatial diamonds it is generalizing and consequently surjective. But 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
|
=
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
 and analogously for 
𝑦
. ∎

Lemma 2.18.

The topological spaces 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 and 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
|
 have the same generization pattern.

Proof.

Since 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
→
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is continuous the generization pattern of 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
 is smaller than that of 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, it suffices by 2.9 to prove that formal, meromorphic and vertical specializations are specializations in 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
|
. For 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

 the pseudo-residue field map 
𝜄
𝑥
:
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥

𝐾
𝑥

→
Spd
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

 is a bijection onto 
ℐ
ver
⪯
​
(
𝑥
)
 so v.s. are specializations in 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
. Let 
𝑥

Spo
​
(
𝐵

 be d-analytic and let 
𝑏
 such that 
|
𝑏

𝑥
𝑎
∉

. Let 
𝑝
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶

Spa
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

 be a geometric point mapping to 
𝑥

 be either 
𝑝
∗
​
(

 or

(

. To this choice we will associate two product of points as follows. Let 
𝑅

=
∏
𝑖
=
1
∞
𝐶

, let 
𝜛
0
=

𝜛

𝑛
=
1
∞
 and 
𝜛
∞
=
(
𝜛
𝑛

𝑛
=
1
∞
. Let 
𝑅
0
+
 (
𝑅
∞

 respectively) be 
𝑅

 endowed with the 
𝜛
0
-topology (
𝜛
∞
-topology respectively), and let 
𝑅
0
=
𝑅

​
[

𝜛
0
]
 (
𝑅
∞
=
𝑅
∞
+
​
[
1
𝜛
∞
]
 respectively). We have diagonal maps of rings 
𝐶
+
→
𝑅
∞
+
 and 
𝐶
→
𝑅
∞
, but we warn the reader that these maps are not continuous. On the other hand, the map 
𝐶
+
→
𝑅
0
+
 is continuous but 
𝜛
 is not invertible in 
𝑅
0
 so the map does not extend to a map 
𝐶
→
𝑅
0
.

Suppose that 
𝑥
 is meromorphic. The diagonal map 
𝑓
:
𝐵
→
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥

→
𝑅
∞
 becomes continuous giving a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
∞

𝑅
∞

)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

)
. The space 
𝜋
0
​
(
|
Spa
​
(
𝑅

𝑅

|
)
 is the Stone–Čech compactification of 
ℕ
 whose elements are ultrafilters of 
ℕ
. Principal ultrafilters 
{

𝑛

 define inclusions 
𝜄
𝑛

Spa
​

Spa
​
(
𝑅

 that correspond to the 
𝑛

We claim that the natural map

 it suffices to prove that

By letting

Suppose that

 the map

 while the non-principal ones map to

Now,

It is not hard to see

Definition 2.20.

Let 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 be a complete Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
, we say that 
(
𝐵

 is olivine if the map 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐵

Spo
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

 is a homeomorphism.

Question 2.21.

Is every complete Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
 an olivine Huber pair?

We have enough partial progress answering this question. Although we do not know what to expect in full generality, for the Huber pairs that we consider this is true. Let us clarify. By 1.21 Tate Huber pairs are olivine. By 2.19 formal Huber pairs are olivine. By 2.11 if 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 induces a locally closed immersion 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
⊆
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 and 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is olivine then 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is olivine. Moreover, being olivine can be verified locally in the analytic topology of 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. The following criterion can be used in most circumstances of interest.

Proposition 2.22.

Let 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 be a complete Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
, suppose it is topologically of finite type over a formal Huber pair 
(
𝐵
0
,
𝐵
0
)
. Then 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is olivine.

. We proceed by induction the base case being 2.19. Let 
Spa
​
(
𝑅

𝑅

)
 be the rational localization corresponding to 
{
𝑥

Spa

∣
|
𝑇
1

𝑥
≤

𝑥

}
, then 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅

)
 is olivine by induction. Indeed, 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅

)
=
(
𝐴
0
​
⟨
𝑇

…
,
𝑇

𝑀

 for 
(

​
⟨

{

,
𝐵

​
⟨
𝑇

 which is a formal. Let 
Spa

. If we let

𝐵

​
⟨

𝑇

{

}
 then we may rewrite 
Spa
​
(
𝑆

𝑆

)
 as the locus of points in

	
Spa
​
(
𝐴

​
⟨
𝑇

𝑇

such that 
𝑚

𝑇

 for

(

𝑀

 is olivine, and since rational localizations preserve olivine Huber pairs we conclude 
(
𝑆

𝑆

)
 is olivine. ∎

Remark 2.23.

For an arbitrary Huber pair 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 with 
𝐵
0
 a ring of definition we can consider the commutative diagram

∣
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
∣
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
lim
←
𝑖
⁡
∣
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
,
𝐵
𝑖
+
)
∣
lim
←
𝑖
⁡
Spo
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
,
𝐵
𝑖
+
)

where 
(
𝐵
𝑖
,
𝐵
𝑖
+
)
 ranges over all subrings of 
𝐵
 that are topologically of finite type over 
𝐵
0
. By 2.22 the bottom horizontal arrow is a homeomorphism and one can verify directly that the right vertical arrow is also a homeomorphism. It is not clear to us if the left vertical arrow is a homeomorphism or not since taking limits of v-sheaf does not necessarily commute with taking underlying topological spaces. Adding to the complexity of the situation the transition maps 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
,
𝐵
𝑖
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑗
,
𝐵
𝑗
+
)
 might not be quasicompact. Counterexample to 2.21 should come from this failure. We do not know if letting 
𝐵
=
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
𝑇
1
,
…
,
𝑇
𝑛
,
…
]
 and 
𝐵
+
=
𝔽
𝑝
 with the discrete topology gives an olivine Huber pair.

2.4.Some open and closed subsheaves

By [18, Proposition 12.9] open subsets of 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 define open subsheaves of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, and when 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is olivine this association is bijective. Since the formation of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 commutes with localization in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
, one can compute the open subsheaf corresponding to classical localizations. The following lemma describes, in some cases, the open subsheaf associated to analytic localizations.

Lemma 2.24.

Suppose that 
𝐵
+
 is 
𝐼
-adic and that 
𝐵
⊆
Frac
​
(
𝐵
+
)
. Let 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
, let 
𝐵
𝑏
+
 be the 
(
𝑏
,
𝐼
)
-adic completion of 
𝐵
+
 and let 
𝐵
𝑏
=
𝐵
⊗
𝐵
+
𝐵
𝑏
+
. If 
(
𝐵
𝑏
,
𝐵
𝑏
+
)
 is Huber, then, 
𝑁
𝑏
≪
1
⊆
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is represented by 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑏
,
𝐵
𝑏
+
)
. This condition is satisfied if 
𝐵
+
=
𝐵
 or if 
𝐵
 and 
𝐵
+
 are valuation rings.

Proof.

Since 
𝐵
⊆
𝐵
𝑏
 is dense, 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑏
,
𝐵
𝑏
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is injective. If 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 factors through 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑏
,
𝐵
𝑏
+
)
 then 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
 is topologically nilpotent in 
𝑅
♯
. This gives 
Spo
​
(
𝑓
)
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
)
⊆
𝑁
𝑏
≪
1
 and since this happens for all 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
∈
Perf
, 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑏
,
𝐵
𝑏
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 factors through 
𝑁
𝑏
≪
1
. Conversely, pick 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 with 
Spo
​
(
𝑓
)
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
)
⊆
𝑁
𝑏
≪
1
. Let 
𝑥
∈
Spa
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
, let 
𝜛
∈
𝑅
♯
,
+
 be a pseudo-uniformizer, then 
|
𝑓
∗
​
𝑏
𝑛
|
𝑥
≤
|
𝜛
|
𝑥
 for some 
𝑛
. Let 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
1
,
𝑅
1
+
)
=
𝑈
​
(
𝑓
∗
​
𝑏
𝑛
𝜛
)
⊆
Spa
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
. Now, 
𝐵
+
→
𝑅
1
+
 is continuous for the 
(
𝐼
,
𝑏
)
-topology so we get a map 
(
𝐵
𝑏
,
𝐵
𝑏
+
)
→
(
𝑅
1
,
𝑅
1
+
)
. This proves 
𝑓
 factors locally, and by injectivity it also does globally. ∎

In general the subsheaf 
𝑁
𝑏
≪
1
 is not of the form 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
. Recall that 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
†
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is the closed subset of bounded points. Observe that 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
†
 is stable under v.g. and by 1.9 it defines a closed subsheaf of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. Let 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
†
 denote this closed subsheaf.

Proposition 2.25.

Let 
ℱ
:
Perf
→
Sets
 parametrize triples 
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝜄
,
𝑓
)
 where 
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝜄
)
 is an untilt of 
𝑅
 and 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
∘
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

)
 is a morphism of pre-adic spaces. Then 
ℱ
=
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
†
.

Proof.

We prove 
ℱ

Spd
​
(

𝐵

 is a closed immersion. Let 
𝔸
ℤ
𝑝

 parametrize tuples 
(
𝑅
♯

𝜄
,
𝑥
)
 with 
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝜄
)
 an untilt and 
𝑥
:
𝐵

𝑅

 a map of sets. Define 
𝔸
ℤ
𝑝

𝐵

,
†
 similarly with 
𝑥

𝔸
ℤ

Spd
​
(

. Since limits preserve closed immersions it suffices to prove 
𝔸

,

𝔸

𝑝

 is a closed immersion, which can be checked after basechange. Let 
𝑓
𝑟
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
𝔸
ℤ
𝑝
1
 defined by 
𝑟
∈
𝑅
♯
. Then 
𝔸
1
,
†
×
𝔸
ℤ
𝑝
1
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is the complement in 
Spa
​
(
𝑅

𝑅
♯

)
 of 
⋃
𝜛

𝑅
♯

∘
∘
{

𝑥

. This is and stable under v.g. as we wanted to show.

Since 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
†
 and 
ℱ
 are closed immersions it suffices to prove they coincide on geometric points. This follows from the definition of the bounded locus. ∎

Lemma 2.26.

Let 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 and 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
 be complete Huber pairs over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and 
(

Spd

Proof.

Since the map 
(
𝐵

𝐵

(

The following statement says that at least the bounded locus of a Huber pair is always olivine.

Proposition 2.27.

2.5.Discrete Huber pairs in characteristic 
𝑝

For the rest of the subsection 
𝐴
 denotes a discrete perfect ring in characteristic 
𝑝
 and 
𝐴
+
⊆
𝐴
 is integrally closed.

Proposition 2.28.

Let 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be as above. The projection map 
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
†
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is surjective. Moreover, if 
𝔖
⊆
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is stable under arbitrary generization and 
ℎ
−
1
​
(
𝔖
)
 is open in 
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
†
 then 
𝔖
 is open in 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
.

Proof.

The complement of the bounded locus consists of d-analytic points. Since 
𝐴
 has the discrete topology every d-analytic point is meromorphic. If 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is meromorphic, then 
𝑦
:=
𝑥
mer
 is bounded and satisfies 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
=
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
. Consequently, 
ℎ
​
(
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
)
=
ℎ
​
(
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
†
)
.

Now, observe that 
Spd
​

𝐴

𝐴

Spd

 and represents the punctured open unit ball over it. Consider, 
𝑓

Proposition 2.29.

If 
𝐴
 and 
𝐴
+
 are valuation rings with the same fraction field then 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is olivine.

Proof.

If 
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
†
=
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
, then 2.27 proves that 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is olivine. Suppose 
𝑥
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
∖
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
†
, then 
𝑥
 is meromorphic and there is 
𝜋
∈
𝐴
 with 
1
<
|
𝜋
|
𝑥
𝑎
. We must have 
1
𝜋
∈
𝐴
+
 since 
𝐴
+
 is a valuation ring and 
𝜋
∉
𝐴
+
. Let 
𝑏
=
1
𝜋
, we claim that 
𝐴
=
𝐴
+
​
[
1
𝑏
]
. By the archimedean property of 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
 for every 
𝑎
′
∈
𝐴
 there is a big enough 
𝑛
∈
ℕ
 with 
|
𝑏
𝑛
⋅
𝑎
′
|
𝑥
𝑎
<
1
. Since 
𝐴
+
 is a valuation ring either 
𝑎
′
⋅
𝑏
𝑛
∈
𝐴
+
 or 
1
𝑎
′
⋅
𝑏
𝑛
∈
𝐴
+
, but the second case contradicts that 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
𝑎
∈
Spa
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
.

By 2.19, 
(
𝐴
+
,
𝐴
+
)
 is olivine and since 
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐴
+
,
𝐴
+
)
 is the open locus in which 
𝑏
≠
0
 we conclude by 2.11 that 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is also olivine. ∎

Lemma 2.30.

There is a unique map 
Spd
​
(

​
(

Spd
​
(
𝔽

.

Proof.

It suffices to prove that 
Spa

Spd
​
(
𝐴

𝐴

Spd

 factors through

(

 for geometric points. Consider, 
Spa
​
(
𝑅

,
𝑅

)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐴

𝐴

 as in the proof of 2.18, with 
𝑅

∏

𝐶

 and 
𝜛
∞

. The map 
Spa
​
(

𝑅

)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴

Spd
​
(

 defines an untilt of 
𝑅
∞
 given by 
𝜉
=
𝑝

(
𝜛
∞
)
1
𝑝
𝑘
⋅
𝛼
 with 
𝛼
∈
𝑊
​
(
𝑅
∞

)
. For any 
𝑖
∈
ℕ
 the projection 
𝜄
𝑖
:
𝑅
∞
→
𝐶
 gives an untilt of 
𝐶
. Since 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴

)
→
(
𝑅
∞
,
𝑅
∞
+
)
→
𝜄
𝑖
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
 is independent of the projection, all of these untilts agree. This says that the ideal 
𝐼
𝑖
 generated by 
𝜄
𝑖
​
(
𝜉
)
 in 
𝑊
​
(
𝐶

 agree, we call this ideal 
𝐼
. Since 
𝜄

​
(
𝜉
)
=
𝑝
−
𝜛
𝑝
𝑖
𝑝
𝑘
​
𝜄
𝑖
​
(
𝛼

 the sequence 
𝜄
𝑖
​
(
𝜉
)
 converges to 
𝑝
 in the 
(
𝑝
,
𝜛
)
-adic topology. But the ideal associated to an untilt is closed, so 
𝑝
∈
𝐼
 and 
Spa
​
(
𝐶

𝐶

)
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ

 factors through 
Spd
​
(
𝔽

. ∎

Lemma 2.31.

Let 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be as above and let 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 be a complete Huber pairs over 
ℤ
𝑝
. Then every morphism of v-sheaves 
Spd
​
(
𝐴

𝐴

)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
 comes from a unique morphism of Huber pairs 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐴
,
𝐴

)
.

Proof.

Given a map 
𝑔
:
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

 we first construct a map 
𝑚
:
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

, and then prove that 
𝑚
♢
=
𝑔
. Let 
𝑅
=
𝐴
​
(

)
, 
𝑅

=

+
(
𝑡
1
𝑝

)
​
𝐴
​
[
[
𝑡
1
𝑝
∞
]
]
 and 
𝑋
=
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
. The natural map 
𝑋
→
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 surjects onto 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
†
. Since 
𝑋
 representable, any 
𝑓
:
𝑋
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵

)
 is given by an untilt 
𝑅
♯
 and a map 
𝑓
∗
:
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
. Let 
𝑓
 be induced by 
𝑔
, by 2.30 the untilt must be 
𝑅
. Since 
𝑓
 factors through 
𝑔
, 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝐵
)
 is invariant under automorphism of 
𝑅
 over 
𝐴
. Take 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
, we show 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
∈
𝐴
⊆
𝑅
. Now, 
𝑡
𝑝
𝑛
⋅
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
 is topologically nilpotent for big enough 
𝑛
. Replacing by 
𝑡
↦
𝑡
1
𝑝
𝑚
 we conclude that 
𝑡
𝑝
𝑛
​
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
 is topologically nilpotent for 
𝑛
∈
ℤ
. This proves that 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
 is power-bounded so that 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
∈
𝐴
​
[
[
𝑡
1
𝑝

]
]
. Write 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
=
𝑎
0
+
𝑡
1
𝑝
𝑚
​
𝑞
 with 
𝑎
0
∈
𝐴
 and 
𝑞
∈
𝐴
​
[
[
𝑡
1
𝑝

]
. Now, 
𝑡
1
𝑝
𝑚
​
𝑞
 converges to 
0
 under 
𝑡
↦
𝑡
𝑝
𝑛
 so 
𝑓
∗
​
(
𝑏
)
=
𝑎
0
. We get a ring map 
𝑚
∗
:
𝐵
→
𝐴
. The subspace topology of 
𝐴
 in 
𝑅
 is discrete, this gives continuity of 
𝑚
∗
. Moreover, 
𝑅
+
∩
𝐴
=
𝐴

. We have constructed 
𝑚

Consider

Spd

(

Spd
​
(

 we show that 
Spd

 factors through the diagonal

:
Spd
​
(

​
(
𝐴

𝐴

. Since the maps agree on 
Spd
​
(

†
 we can assume that 
𝑥
 is meromorphic. Pick a pseudo-uniformizer 
𝜛

𝐶
 and consider 
𝑅

 as in 2.18. Consider 
Spa
​
(

𝑅

Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴

 given by the diagonal morphism 
𝐴

∏

∞
𝐶
. Recall, 
𝐶
⊆
Δ
𝑅
∞
⊆
∏
𝑖
=
1
∞
𝐶
,
 and that although 
𝐶
⊆
Δ
𝑅

 is not continuous the composition 
𝐴

𝑅

 is. Now, 
Spa
​
(
𝑅

𝑅

→
Spd

)

Spd
​
(
𝐵

×
Spd
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

 gives two maps 
𝑓
1
,
𝑓
2
:
𝐵
→
𝑅
∞
, and both have to factor through the diagonal 
𝐶
⊆
Δ
𝑅
∞
. By the proof of 2.18 the residue field at a non-principal ultrafilter 
𝒰
 maps to 
𝑥
mer
. Since 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝒰

𝐶
𝒰

)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵

Spd
​
(

𝐵

 factors through 
Spd
​
(
𝐴

𝐴

†
 (being discrete in 
Spo
​
(
𝐴

), it also factors through the diagonal. These ring maps are the compositions 
𝑓
𝑖
:
𝐵

𝐶

𝑅
∞

𝐶
𝒰
. We can conclude 
𝑓

=

 since

 is injective. ∎

Theorem 2.32.

Let 
𝑌
 be a perfect discrete adic space over 
𝔽
𝑝
 and let 
𝑋
 be a pre-adic space over 
ℤ
𝑝
. The natural map 
Hom
PreAd
​
(
𝑌
,
𝑋
)
→
Hom
​
(
𝑌
♢
,
𝑋
♢
)
 is bijective. In particular, 
♢
 is fully faithful when restricted to the category of perfect discrete adic spaces over 
𝔽
𝑝
.

This theorem says, intuitively speaking, that (up to perfection) one does not get new morphisms of v-sheaves when the source is a discrete adic space.

Proof.

It is not hard to prove injectivity. For surjectivity, the hard part is to prove that morphisms 
𝑔
:
𝑌
♢
→
𝑋
♢
 induce a map of topological spaces 
𝑓
:
|
𝑌
|
→
|
𝑋
|
 making the following diagram commute:

∣
𝑌
♢
∣
∣
𝑋
♢
∣
∣
𝑌
∣
∣
𝑋
∣
𝑔
𝑓

Indeed, if this holds true one can reduce to 2.31 by standard glueing arguments. Verifying that 
𝑔
:
|
𝑌
♢
|
→
|
𝑋
♢
|
 descends to 
𝑓
:
|
𝑌

𝑋

 can be done locally on

𝑌

, we may assume 
𝑌
=
Spa

=

, we define 
𝑓
​
(
𝑦
)
:=
ℎ
​
(
𝑔
​
(
𝑧

)
. We must verify that this doesn’t depend on 
𝑧
 and that it is continuous. The map 
𝑓
 is well defined if and only if 
ℎ
​
(
𝑔
​
(
𝑧

)
=
ℎ
​
(
𝑔
​
(
𝑧

 when 
𝑧
 is meromorphic, and by 2.28 to prove continuity it suffices to prove that if 
𝔖

𝑋

 is open then 
𝑓
−
1
​
(
𝔖
)
 is stable under arbitrary generization in 
Spa
​

(

𝑤
 and 
𝑦
 and let 
𝐾
𝑤
 denote the smallest ring containing 
𝑘
𝑤

 and 
𝐴
 as in item 11. It suffices to prove that

Spd

𝑋

Spa
​
(

𝑌
=
Spa
​
(

 with 
𝐴

⊆

 two valuation rings with the same fraction field. We deal with this case in 2.33 below. ∎

Lemma 2.33.

Let

 as above, with

 both valuation rings. Let 
𝑔
:
Spd

 be a map. Let 
ℎ
​
(

​
(

 denote the unique closed point and let

​
(

 denote the unique discrete point mapping to

𝑋

 lies in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

⊆

 then 
𝑔
 factors through a map 
Spd
​
(
𝐴

𝐴
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
1
,
𝐵

⊆
𝑋
♢
. In particular, 
𝑔
 is coming from a map of pre-adic spaces 
Spa
​
(
𝐴

𝐴

)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵

𝐵

⊆

Proof.

Suppose to get a contradiction that there is an “exotic” 
𝑔
 that does not satisfy this property. By 2.29, 
|
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
=
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴

)
 and we work with the later. Let 
𝑈
1
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be pullback of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
1
,
𝐵
1
+
)
, this a proper open subset. Let 
𝑍
=
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
∖
𝑈
1
, it is quasicompact and by [20, Lemma 18.3.2] we may find the largest prime 
𝔭
𝑚
∈
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 of the form 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑧
)
 with 
𝑧
∈
𝑍
. Replacing 
𝐴
 and 
𝐴
+
 by 
𝐴
/
𝔭
𝑚
 and 
𝐴
+
/
𝔭
𝑚
 we may assume that if 
𝑧
∈
𝑍
 then 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑧
)
=
0
. Let 
𝐾
=
Frac
​
(
𝐴
)
, then 
𝑍
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐴
+
)
. Since 
𝑍
 is a closed it contains the unique closed point 
𝑞
min
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐴

)
.5 Now, 
𝑈
1
 contains all analytic localizations 
𝑁
𝑛
≪
1
 with 
𝑛
≠
0
 and 
𝑛
∈
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑐
min
)
. Indeed, if 
𝑧
∈
𝑍
∩
𝑁
𝑛
≪
1
 then 
|
𝑛
|
𝑧
𝑎
<
1
 and either 
𝑧
 or 
𝑧
for
 have non-trivial support giving a contradiction.

Also, 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐴
+
)
→
𝑋
♢
 factors through another open affine subsheaf 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
2
,
𝐵
2
+
)
, since it has a unique closed point. Let 
𝑈
2
 be the pullback of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
2
,
𝐵
2
+
)
. By 2.12, there is an open with 
𝑞
min
∈
𝑈
0
≤
𝑏

0
∩
𝑈
1
≤
𝑏
′
≠
0
∩
𝑁
𝑛
≪
1
⊆
𝑈
2
. Moreover, in the notation of 2.12 
𝑞
min
=
(
0
,
0
,
𝔪
)
 with 
𝔪
 the maximal ideal of 
𝐴
+
. This gives that 
𝑛
=
0
 and that 
𝑏
′
∈
𝐴
+
∖
𝔪
 so 
𝑈

 contradicting our assumption. ∎

We now study perfect discrete Huber pairs of the form 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
.

Proposition 2.34.

Let 
𝐴
 be discrete ring and 
𝑓
∗
:
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 a map. The following hold:

(1) 

𝑓
​
(
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
)
=
ℎ
−
1
​
(
𝑓
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
)
)
.

(2) 

𝑓
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
)
 is stable under horizontal specializations in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
.

(3) 

𝑓
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
)
 is stable under vertical generizations in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
.

Proof.

For the first claim let 
𝑦
∈
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 and let 
𝑥
=
Spo
​
(
𝑓
)
​
(
𝑦
)
. If 
𝑥
 is d-analytic, 
𝑦
 is meromorphic and 
𝑦
mer
 maps to 
𝑥
mer
, giving 
ℎ
−
1
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
)
⊆
𝐼
​
𝑚
​
(
Spo
​
(
𝑓
)
)
. Suppose that 
𝑥
 is discrete and that 
𝑥
mer
 exists. In this case, 
𝑦
mer
 might not exist and even if it does it might not map to 
𝑥
mer
. Consider instead 
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
∈
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
 and its residue field map 
𝜄
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
. Notice that 
𝜄
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
 factors through 
𝑔
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
. We prove that 
𝑥
mer
 is in the image of 
Spo
​
(
𝑓
∘
𝑔
)
. Take 
𝑏
∈
𝐵
 with 
|
𝑏
|
𝑥
mer
𝑎
∉
{
0
,
1
}
 and replace it with its inverse in 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
, if necessary, so that 
𝑏
∈
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
. Define 
𝐾
+
 as the 
(
𝑏
)
-adic completion of 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
, and let 
𝐾
=
𝐾
+
​
[
1
𝑏
]
. We get a map 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐾
+
)
→
Spo
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
)
→
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
. One can verify that the closed point of 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐾
+
)
 maps to 
𝑥
mer
.

The proof of the second claim also follows from observing that the residue field map 
𝜄
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
 factors through 
𝑔
. Indeed, we get the following commutative diagram of adic spaces:

Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
,
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
𝑔
𝑔
′

Where we use that 
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
=
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
∩
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 to define 
𝑔
′
. Moreover, the vertical map on the left is surjective since 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
=
𝑓
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
)
 and one can deduce that the vertical map in the middle column is also surjective because the map of valuation rings is local. A prime ideal of 
𝐽
⊆
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
 determines a horizontal specializations of 
|
⋅
|
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
, namely 
|
⋅
|
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
/
𝐽
, and every horizontal specialization of 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 can be constructed in this way. For 
𝐽
 as above we let 
𝐾
𝐽
+
=
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
+
/
𝐽
 and 
𝐾
𝐽
=
Frac
​
(
𝐾
𝐽
+
)
, we get the following commutative diagram:

Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝐽
,
𝐾
𝐽
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝐽
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐾
ℎ
​
(
𝑦
)
+
)
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)

The closed point of 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝐽
,
𝐾
𝐽
+
)
 maps to the horizontal specialization of 
ℎ
​
(
𝑥
)
 associated to the ideal 
𝐽
.

The third claim follows from 2.17 and from the first claim. ∎

Definition 2.35.

We say that a subset of 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is a schematic subset if it is a union of sets of the form 
Spo
​
(
𝑚
)
​
(
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
)
 where 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 is given the discrete topology and 
𝑚
∗
:
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 is a map of Huber pairs.

The following statement is the key result that allow us to construct a well-defined specialization map.

Proposition 2.36.

Suppose that 
𝑍
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is a schematic closed subset. Let 
𝜎
:
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
 denote the map 
𝑥
↦
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
​
(
𝑥
)
 attaching to every point of 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 its support ideal. Notice that 
𝜎
=
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
∘
ℎ
 where 
𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩
:
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
 also attaches the support ideal. Then 
𝑍
=
𝜎
−
1
​
(
𝑉
​
(
𝐼
)
)
 for some prime ideal 
𝐼
⊆
𝐵
 open for the topology in 
𝐵
.

Proof.

Any map 
𝑚
∗
:
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 with 
𝐴
 a discrete ring factors through 
(
𝐵
/
𝐵
∘
∘
,
𝐵
+
/
𝐵
∘
∘
)
, so we may assume that 
𝐵
 has the discrete topology. By 2.34, 
𝑍
=
ℎ
−
1
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
)
 and by 2.17, 
𝑍
 is closed under v.g. Moreover, since 
𝑍
 is closed in 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 it is also stable under vertical specialization. This implies that 
𝑍
=
𝜎
−
1
​
(
𝜎
​
(
𝑍
)
)
. We prove 
𝜎
​
(
𝑍
)
 is closed. Since 
𝐵
 has the discrete topology, the support map admits a continuous section 
Triv
:
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 that assigns to a prime ideal 
𝔭
⊆
𝐵
 the trivial valuation with support 
𝔭
. We have 
𝜎
​
(
𝑍
)
=
Triv
−
1
​
(
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
)
 so we may prove 
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
 is closed instead. By 2.34, 
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
 is also closed under horizontal specialization, this gives that the complement of 
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
 in 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
 is stable under (arbitrary) generization. Now, 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
∖
𝑍
=
ℎ
−
1
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
∖
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
)
 and by 2.28 the set 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
∖
ℎ
​
(
𝑍
)
 is open. ∎

3.The reduction functor
3.1.The v-topology for perfect schemes

In this section, set-theoretic carefulness is necessary. We advise the reader to review the definition and basic properties of cut-off cardinals [18, §4].

Denote by 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 the category of perfect affine schemes over 
𝔽
𝑝
. If 
𝜅
 is a cut-off cardinal we let 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜅
op
 be the category of perfect affine schemes over 
𝔽
𝑝
 whose underlying topological space and whose ring of global sections have cardinality bounded by 
𝜅
. Given 
𝑆
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
∈
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 we associate to it a v-sheaf in 
Perf
 given by: 
𝑆
⋄
​
(
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
)
=
{
𝑓
:
𝐴
→
𝑅
+
|
𝑓
​
 is a  morphism of rings
}
.

Remark 3.1.

Notice that 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
⋄
=
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
 when 
𝐴
 is given the discrete topology.

Proposition 3.2.

If 
𝜅
 is a cut-off cardinal and 
𝑆
∈
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜅
op
 then 
𝑆
⋄
 is a 
𝜅
-small v-sheaf.

3.2 gives rise to functors 
⋄
𝜅
:
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜅
op
→
Perf
~
𝜅
 that are compatible when we vary 
𝜅
 and give rise to a functor 
⋄
:
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
→
Perf
~

Proposition 3.3.

The functors 
⋄
:
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
→
Perf
~
 and 
⋄
𝜅
:
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜅
op
→
Perf
~
𝜅
 are fully-faithful and commute with finite limits.

Proof.

This is a direct consequence of 2.32. ∎

After embedding 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 in 
Perf
~
 one can define a Grothendieck topology on 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 by considering a small family of maps of affine schemes, 
(
𝑆
𝑖
→
𝑇
)
𝑖
∈
ℱ
, to be a cover if the map 
∐
𝑖
∈
ℱ
𝑆
𝑖
⋄
→
𝑇
⋄
 is a surjective map of v-sheaves. However, there is an intrinsic way of defining this topology which we now discuss.

Definition 3.4.

([5, Definition 2.1])

(1) 

A morphisms of qcqs schemes 
𝑆
→
𝑇
, is said to be universally subtrusive (or a v-cover) if for any valuation ring 
𝑉
 and a map 
Spec
​
(
𝑉
)
→
𝑇
 there is an extension of valuation rings 
𝑉
⊆
𝑊
 ([21, Tag 0ASG]) and a map 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
)
→
𝑆
 making the following diagram commutative:

 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
)
𝑆
Spec
​
(
𝑉
)
𝑇
(2) 

A small family of morphisms in 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
, 
(
𝑆
𝑖
→
𝑇
)
𝑖
∈
ℱ
, is said to be universally subtrusive (or a v-cover) if there is a finite subset 
ℱ
′
⊆
ℱ
 for which 
∐
𝑖
∈
ℱ
′
𝑆
𝑖
→
𝑇
 is universally subtrusive.

Lemma 3.5.

([5, Remark 2.2]) A morphism 
𝑓
:
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 of affine schemes (not necessarily over 
𝔽
𝑝
) is universally subtrusive if and only if the map of topological spaces 
|
𝑓
ad
|
:
|
Spa
​
(
𝐵
)
|
→
|
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
|
 is surjective.

Lemma 3.6.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 be a morphism of perfect affine schemes over 
𝔽
𝑝
. The map 
𝑓
⋄
:
𝑆
⋄
→
𝑇
⋄
 is a quasicompact map of v-sheaves.

Proof.

Observe that for a perfect discrete ring 
𝐴
 we have the identity 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
†
=
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
. We can apply 2.26. ∎

Proposition 3.7.
(1) 

Let 
𝑓
:
𝑆
→
𝑇
 be a morphism of perfect affine schemes over 
𝔽
𝑝
. The map 
𝑓
 is universally subtrusive if and only if 
𝑓
⋄
:
𝑆
⋄
→
𝑇
⋄
 is a surjective map of v-sheaves.

(2) 

A family of morphisms 
(
𝑆
𝑖
→
𝑇
)
𝑖
∈
ℱ
 is universally subtrusive if and only if 
(
∐
𝑖
∈
ℱ
𝑆
𝑖
⋄
)
→
𝑇
⋄
 is a surjective map of v-sheaves.

Proof.

Since 
𝑓
⋄
:
𝑆
⋄
→
𝑇
⋄
 is quasicompact, by [18, Lemma 12.11] it is surjective if and only if 
|
𝑓
⋄
|
 is surjective. By 2.14 and 3.5, it suffices to prove that 
Spo
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
)
→
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 is surjective if and only if the map 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
 is. Surjectivity of 
ℎ
 proves one direction, the converse is a consequence of 2.34. The second claim, follows easily from the first. ∎

Remark 3.8.

One can discuss the analogue of 1.1. Given an index set 
𝐼
 and 
{
𝑉
𝑖
}
𝑖
∈
𝐼
 a family of perfect valuation rings over 
𝔽
𝑝
, we let 
𝑅
=
∏
𝑖
∈
𝐼
𝑉
𝑖
. We call the affine schemes constructed in this way a scheme-theoretic product of points. They form a basis for the v-topology on 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 [5, Lemma 6.2].

Given a cut-off cardinal 
𝜅
 we let 
SchPerf
~
𝜅
 be the topos associated to the site 
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜅
op
 with the v-topology, and we will refer to an object in this topos as a 
𝜅
-small scheme-theoretic v-sheaf. For any pair of cut-off cardinals 
𝜅
<
𝜆
 we have a continuous fully-faithful embedding of sites 
𝜄
𝜅
,
𝜆
∗
:
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜅
op
→
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜆
op
, which induces a morphism of topoi 
𝜄
𝜅
,
𝜆
:
SchPerf
~
𝜆
→
SchPerf
~
𝜅
.

Proposition 3.9.

The functor 
𝜄
𝜅
,
𝜆
∗
:
SchPerf
~
𝜅
→
SchPerf
~
𝜆
 is fully-faithful [18, Proposition 8.2].

Proof.

It is enough to prove that the adjunction 
ℱ
→

 denote the category of maps of affine schemes

We claim that

Lemma 3.10.

Proof.

Let

 we may assume

We define

 as the big colimit

 along all cut-off cardinals and the fully-faithful embeddings

SchPerf

 are called small scheme-theoretic v-sheaves.

The general formalism of topoi, specifically ([2, IV 4.9.4]), allows us to promote 
⋄
𝜅
:
PCAlg

 to a morphism of topoi

Proposition 3.11.

Given two cut-off cardinals

 we have a commutative diagram of morphism of topoi:

Moreover, the natural morphism

𝜄
𝜅
,
𝜆

 is an isomorphism.

Proof.

The commutativity of morphism of topoi follows formally from the similar commutativity of continuous functors. For the second claim, given an element 
𝑆
∈
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝜆

 we let 
𝐼
𝑆

 be an index set category as in the proof of 3.9. If

Recall that a morphism of topoi consists of a pair of adjoint functors 
(
𝑓
∗
,
𝑓
∗
)
 such that 
𝑓
∗
 commutes with finite limits. By 3.11 above we can gather all of the morphisms of topoi 
𝑓
𝜅
:
Perf
~
𝜅
→
SchPerf
~
𝜅
 into a pair of adjoint functors 
(
𝑓
∗
,
𝑓
∗
)
:
Perf
~
→
SchPerf
~
 such that 
𝑓
∗
 commutes with finite limits. This is not a morphism of topoi because 
Perf
~
 and 
SchPerf
~
 are not topoi, but they behave as such.

Definition 3.12.

Let 
(
𝑓
∗
,
𝑓
∗
)
 be the pair of adjoint functors described above, given 
ℱ
∈
SchPerf
~
 we will denote 
𝑓
∗
​
ℱ
 by 
ℱ
⋄
 and given 
𝒢
∈
Perf
~
 we will denote 
𝑓
∗
​
𝒢
 by 
(
𝒢
)
red
. We refer to 
(
−
)
red
 as the reduction functor.

Remark 3.13.

By adjunction 
ℱ
red
​
(
𝑆
)
=
Hom
Perf
~
​
(
𝑆
⋄
,
ℱ
)
. We could have simply defined it in this way, but it is useful to know that “reduction” preserves smallness.

We can endow small scheme-theoretic v-sheaf with a topological space in a similar fashion to 1.7. Given 
𝔖
∈
SchPerf
~
 we let 
|
𝔖
|
 denote the set of equivalence classes of maps 
Spec
​
(
𝑘
)
→
𝔖
, where 
𝑘
 is a perfect field over 
𝔽
𝑝
. Two maps 
𝑝

𝑝

 are equivalent if we can complete a commutative diagram as below:

Spec

Proposition 3.14.

Let 
𝔖
∈
SchPerf
~
 the following hold:

(1) 

There is a pair of cut-off cardinals 
𝜅
<
𝜆
 and a 
𝜆
-small family 
{
𝑆

𝑖

𝜅
op
 together with a surjective map 
𝑋
=
(
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
𝑆
𝑖
)
→
𝔖
.

(2) 

The small scheme-theoretic v-sheaf 
𝑅
=
𝑋
×
𝔖
𝑋
 has a similar cover 
𝑌
=
(
∐
𝑗
∈
𝐽
𝑇
𝑗
)
→
𝑅
, there is a natural map 
|
𝑋
|
→
|
𝔖
|
 which induces a bijection 
|
𝔖
|
≅
|
𝑋
|
/
|
𝑌
|
. We endow 
|
𝔖
|
 with the quotient topology induced by this bijection.

(3) 

The topology on 
|
𝔖
|
 does not depend on the choices of 
𝑋
 or 
𝑌
.

(4) 

Any map of small v-sheaves 
𝔖
1

𝔖
2
 induces a continuous map of topological spaces 
|
𝔖
1
|
→
|
𝔖
2

.

3.2.Reduction functor and formal adicness
Definition 3.15.

Let 
ℱ
∈
SchPerf
~
, we say it is reduced if 
ℱ
→
(
ℱ
⋄
)
red
 is an isomorphism.

Proposition 3.16.

([20, Proposition 18.3.1])

(1) 

If 
𝑆
 is a perfect scheme over 
𝔽
𝑝
 then the Yoneda functor 
ℎ
𝑆
 is reduced.

(2) 

The functor 
⋄
:
SchPerf
~
→
Perf
~
 is fully-faithful when restricted to small reduced v-sheaves.

Proof.

The first claim follows from 2.32. The second claim follows from adjunction. Indeed, 
Hom
Perf
~
​
(
𝒢
⋄
,
ℱ
⋄
)
=
Hom
SchPerf
~
​
(
𝒢
,
(
ℱ
⋄
)
red
)
=
Hom
SchPerf
~
​
(
𝒢
,
ℱ
)
. ∎

Intuitively, the reduction functor kills all topological nilpotent elements and removes analytic points. One can think of reduction functor as taking the underlying reduced subscheme of a formal scheme.

Lemma 3.17.

The scheme-theoretic v-sheaf 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
red
 is represented by 
Spec
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
)
.

Proof.

This is a direct consequence of 2.30. ∎

For an f-adic ring 
𝐴
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
, we let 
𝐴
red
=
(
𝐴
/
(
𝐴
⋅
𝐴
∘
∘
)
)
perf
 where 
𝐴
⋅
𝐴
∘
∘
 is the ideal generated by the topological nilpotent elements. The following statement generalizes 3.17

Proposition 3.18.

Let 
𝑋
 be a pre-adic space over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and let 
𝑋
na
 be the reduced adic space associated to the non-analytic locus of 1.19. The following hold:

(1) 

The map 
(
𝑋
na
,
⋄
)
red
→
(
𝑋
⋄
)
red
 is an isomorphism.

(2) 

If 
𝑋
=
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 for 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 a Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
, then 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
red
 is represented by 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
.

Proof.

By 2.32 if 
𝑆
=
Spec
​
(
𝑅
)
∈
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 then morphisms 
𝑆
⋄
→
𝑋
 are given by maps of pre-adic spaces 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅
)
→
𝑋
. These factor through the non-analytic locus. The non-analytic locus of 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is represented by the Huber pair 
(
𝐴
/
𝐴
∘
∘
⋅
𝐴
,
𝐴
∘
∘
⋅
𝐴
+
)
. Since 
𝑅
 is perfect the map 
𝑓
∗
:
𝐴
/
𝐴
⋅
𝐴
∘
∘
→
𝑅
 factors uniquely through its perfection. ∎

Proposition 3.19.

If 
𝑌
 is a quasiseparated diamond, then 
𝑌
red
=
∅
.

Proof.

It suffices to prove that there are no maps 
𝑓
:
𝑆
⋄
→
𝑌
 for 
𝑆
=
Spec
​
(
𝑘
)
 and 
𝑘
 an algebraically closed field. Suppose 
𝑓
 exists and let 
𝑦
∈
|
𝑌
|
 be the unique point in the image of 
|
𝑓
|
. Consider 
𝑌
𝑦
 the sub-v-sheaf of points that factors through 
𝑦
. By [18, Proposition 11.10] it is a quasiseparated diamond and 
|
𝑌
𝑦
|
 consists of one point. Using [18, Proposition 21.9] we write 
𝑌
𝑦
=
Spa

Recall that a morphism of adic spaces 
𝑋
→
𝑌
 is said to be adic if the image of an analytic point is again an analytic point. For v-sheaves we can define a related notion.

Definition 3.20.

A morphism 
ℱ
→
𝒢
 is formally adic if the following diagram is Cartesian:

(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
ℱ
𝒢

Although the notion of a morphism of adic spaces being adic is related to the morphism of v-sheaves being formally adic neither of this notions implies the other.

Example 3.21.

Endow 
𝔽
𝑝
​
(
(
𝑡
)
)
 with the discrete topology, then 
Spa
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
​
(
(

)
)
,
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
[
𝑡
]
]
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
,
𝔽
𝑝
)
 is adic. Nevertheless, 
Spd
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
​
(
(

)
,
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
[

)
→
Spd
​
(
𝔽

,
𝔽

 is not formally adic. Observe that 
Spo
​
(
𝔽
𝑝
​
(
(
𝑡
)
)
,
𝔽
𝑝
​
[
[
𝑡

]
)
 has an unbounded meromorphic point.

Example 3.22.

Let 
𝐾
 be a perfect nonarchimedean field and consider 
Id
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
1
,
𝑂
𝐾

)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐾
2
,
𝑂
𝐾
2
)
 where 
𝐾
2
=
𝐾
 given the discrete topology and 
𝐾
1
=
𝐾
 given the norm topology. This morphism is not adic, but the reduction diagram is Cartesian. Indeed, it looks like this:

∅
Spec
​
(
𝐾
2
)
⋄
Spd
​
(
𝐾

,
𝑂
𝐾

)
Spd
​
(

Although formal adicness does not capture adicness in general, it does in important situations:

Proposition 3.23.

Let 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 and 
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
)
 be formal Huber pairs over 
ℤ
𝑝
 with ideals of definition 
𝐼
𝐴
 and 
𝐼
𝐵
 respectively. Then 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
)
 is adic if and only if 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
 is formally adic.

Proof.

The reduction diagram looks as follows:

Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
⋄
(
Spec
​
(
𝐴
/
𝐼
𝐵
)
perf
)
⋄
Spec
​
(
𝐵
red
)
⋄
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)

Continuity of the morphism 
𝐵
→
𝐴
 ensures that 
𝐼
𝐵
𝑛
⊆
𝐼
𝐴
 for some 
𝑛
. The morphism is adic if and only if 
𝐼
𝐴
𝑚
⊆
𝐴
⋅
𝐼
𝐵
 for some 
𝑚
. If the morphism is adic, then 
𝐴
/
𝐼
𝐴
 and 
(
𝐴
/
𝐴
⋅
𝐼
𝐵
)
 become isomorphic after taking perfection which gives formal adicness. Conversely, if the morphism is formally adic, by hypothesis the rings 
(
𝐴
/
𝐼
𝐵
)
perf
, and 
𝐴
red
 are isomorphic with the isomorphism being induced by the natural surjective ring map with source 
(
𝐴
/
𝑝
)
perf
. This implies that the ideals 
𝐼
𝐴
 and 
𝐼
𝐵
 define the same Zariski closed subset in 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
. In particular, the elements of 
𝐼
𝐴
 are nilpotent in 
𝐴
/
𝐼
𝐵
, and since 
𝐼
𝐴
 is finitely generated 
𝐼
𝐴
𝑚
⊆
𝐼
𝐵
 for some 
𝑚
. ∎

Proposition 3.24.

Let 
ℱ
, 
𝒢
 and 
ℋ
 be small v-sheaves.

(1) 

If 
ℱ
→
ℋ
 and 
ℋ
→
𝒢
 are formally adic, the composition 
ℱ
→
𝒢
 is formally adic.

(2) 

If 
ℱ
→
ℋ
 is formally adic, the basechange 
𝒢
×
ℋ
ℱ
→
𝒢
 is formally adic.

Proof.

The first claim is clear. The second follows from the commutativity of 
(
−
)
red
 and 
(
−
)
⋄
 with finite limits. ∎

Definition 3.25.

We say that a v-sheaf 
ℱ
 over 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is formally 
𝑝
-adic (or just 
𝑝
-adic when the context is clear) if the morphism 
ℱ
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is formally adic.

Over 
ℤ
𝑝
 the situation of 3.22 does not happen.

Proposition 3.26.

Suppose we have a Huber pair 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 and a map 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
, if 
𝑓
⋄
 is formally adic then 
𝑓
 is adic (as a morphism of adic spaces).

Proof.

Let 
𝑈
⊆
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 the open subset of analytic points. It follows from 3.19 and 3.18 that 
𝑈
⋄
→
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 is formally adic. By 3.24, 
𝑈
⋄
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is formally adic and the map must factor through 
Spd
​
(
ℚ
𝑝
)
. This proves proves that 
𝑓
 is adic. ∎

Recall that a v-sheaf 
ℱ
 is said to be separated if the diagonal 
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 is a closed immersion [18, Definition 10.7]. We need the following related notion:

Definition 3.27.

Let 
ℱ
 and 
𝒢
 be small v-sheaves.

(1) 

We say 
ℱ
→
𝒢
 is formally closed if it is a formally adic closed immersion.

(2) 

We say that a v-sheaf is formally separated if the diagonal map 
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 is formally closed.

Lemma 3.28.

The v-sheaf 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is formally separated.

Proof.

To prove that the diagonal 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is a closed immersion observe that the basechanges by maps 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
, with 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
∈
Perf
 define the locus on which two untilts agree in 
|
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅

)
|
. Each untilt is individually cut out of 
Spa
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑅
+
)
)
∖
{
𝑉
​
(
[
𝜛
]
)
}
 as a closed Cartier divisor [20, Proposition 11.3.1]. The intersection defines a Zariski closed subset in each of the untilts and these are represented by a perfectoid space.

We compute directly 
(
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
)
red
=
𝔽
𝑝
 since 
(
−
)
red
 commutes with limits. On the other hand, 
Spd
​
(
𝔽

×
Spd

(
ℤ

)
2
Spd
​
(
ℤ

=
Spd
​
(
𝔽

, which proves that the diagonal is formally adic. ∎

Proposition 3.29.

If 
ℱ
 is formally 
𝑝
-adic, then the diagonal 
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 is formally adic.

Proof.

We have a formally adic map 
ℱ
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
, and since formal adicness is preserved by basechange and composition we get a formally adic map 
ℱ
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
ℱ
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
. By a general property of Cartesian diagrams, the diagonal map 
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
ℱ
 is also formally adic. Now, 
ℱ
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
ℱ
 is the basechange of the diagonal 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ

 by the projection 
ℱ
×
ℱ
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
. This gives that 
ℱ
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 and by composition that 
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 are also formally adic. ∎

Lemma 3.30.

The diagonal 
ℱ

ℱ
×
ℱ
 is formally adic if and only if the adjunction morphism 
(
ℱ

⋄
→
ℱ

Spa

∈
Perf
 and 
𝑚

(

. Then 
𝑚

​
(
𝐴

𝐴

 if and only if 
Spa
​
(

 admits a v-cover 
Spa
​
(
𝑅

Spa
​

In general, a map of sheaves 
𝒢

(

ℱ

ℱ
ℱ

↦
Hom
​
(
Spec

,

. The description given in the statement above is what one gets from taking sheafification and assuming injectivity of 
(
ℱ

ℱ
. ∎

The following lemma will be key for our theory of specialization, it roughly says that formally adic closed immersions behave as expected:

Lemma 3.31.

Let 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 be a formal Huber pair and let 
ℱ
→
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
 be formally adic closed immersion. Then 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
/
𝐽
)
⋄
 for some open ideal 
𝐽
⊆
𝐴
.

Proof.

|
ℱ
|
⊆
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 is closed and we get an expression 
ℱ
=
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
×
|
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
¯
|
ℱ
|
¯
. By 3.18, 
(
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
red
)
⋄
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
⋄
 which is closed in 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
. By formal adicness 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
 is closed in 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
 determined by 
|
ℱ
|
∩
|
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
⋄
|
. By 3.30, a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
 factors through 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
 if after possibly replacing 
𝑅
 by a v-cover it factors through 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
+
)
⋄
→
ℱ
∩
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
⋄
. This proves that 
|
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
|
 is a schematic closed subset of 
Spo
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 as in 2.35. By 2.36, it is a Zariski closed subset corresponding to an open ideal 
𝐽
⊆
𝐴
. ∎

We will often use implicitly the following easy result.

Lemma 3.32.

Let 
ℱ
 and 
𝒢
 be two small v-sheaves, and 
𝑓
:
ℱ
→
𝒢
 a map between them. Suppose that the adjunction map 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
→
𝒢
 is injective and that 
ℱ
×
𝒢
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
 is representable by a reduced scheme-theoretic v-sheaf, then 
𝑓
 is formally adic.

Proof.

Let 
𝑇
∈
SchPerf
~
 be reduced and such that 
𝑇
⋄
=
ℱ
×
𝒢
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
. By hypothesis 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
→
𝒢
 is a monomorphism and since 
(
−
)
red
 is a right adjoint 
(
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
)
red
→
𝒢
red
 is also a monomorphism. Recall that for any pair of adjoint functors 
(
𝐿
,
𝑅
)
 the compositions 
𝑅

𝑅
∘
𝐿
∘
𝑅
→
𝑅
 and 
𝐿

𝐿

𝑅

𝐿
→
𝐿
 are the identity. This implies that 
(
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
)
red
→
𝒢
red
 is an isomorphism. We compute directly:

	
(
𝑇

)
red
	
=

4.Specialization
4.1.Specialization for Tate Huber pairs
Definition 4.1.

Given a Tate Huber pair 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and a pseudo-uniformizer 
𝜛
∈
𝐴
, we define the specialization map 
sp
𝐴
:
|
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
→
|
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
+
)
|
 by sending a valuation 
|
⋅
|
𝑥
∈
|
Spa
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
 to the ideal 
𝔭
⊆
𝐴
+
 given by 
𝔭
=
{
𝑎
∈
𝐴
+
∣
|
𝑎
|
𝑥
<
1
}
.

These maps of sets are functorial in the category of Tate Huber pairs. We thank David Hansen for providing reference and an explanation of the following statement.

Proposition 4.2.

([3, Theorem 8.1.2]) The specialization map 
sp
𝐴
:
|
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
|
→
|
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
+
)
|
 is a continuous, surjective, spectral and closed map of spectral topological spaces.

Proposition 4.3.

For a strictly totally disconnected space 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
, the specialization map 
sp
𝑅
 is a homeomorphism.

Proof.

By 4.2 the map is surjective and a quotient map so it suffices to prove injectivity. One first proves that if 
sp
𝑅
​
(
𝑥
)
=
sp
𝑅
​
(
𝑦
)
, then 
𝑥
 and 
𝑦
 are in the same connected component of 
|
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
|
. In this way one reduces to prove injectivity component by component. Using 1.5 we can assume 
𝑅
=
𝐶
, and this case follows from generalities of valuation rings. ∎

Remark 4.4.

One can also prove 4.2 if we knew already that 4.3 holds.

4.2.Specializing v-sheaves

We now discuss the specialization map for v-sheaves. The idea is to descend the specialization map from the case of formal Huber pairs.

Definition 4.5.

We say that a small v-sheaf 
ℱ
 is v-locally formal if there is a set 
𝐼
, a family 
(
𝐵
𝑖
,
𝐵
𝑖
)
𝑖
∈
𝐼
 of formal Huber pairs over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and a surjective map of v-sheaves 
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
)
→
ℱ
.

Definition 4.6.

Let 
ℱ
∈
Perf
~
, 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 be a Tate Huber pair and 
𝑓
:
Spd
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 a map.

(1) 

We say that 
ℱ
 formalizes 
𝑓
 (or that 
𝑓
 is formalizable) if there is 
𝑡
:
Spd
​
(
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 factoring 
𝑓
.

(2) 

We say that 
ℱ
 v-formalizes 
𝑓
 if for some v-cover 
𝑔
:
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
, 
ℱ
 formalizes 
𝑓
∘
𝑔
.

(3) 

We say that 
ℱ
 is formalizing if it formalizes maps with source an affinoid perfectoid space.

(4) 

We say that 
ℱ
 is v-formalizing if it v-formalizes any 
𝑓
 as above.

We use this extensively because it gives an abstract way to verify that a v-sheaf is v-locally formal.

Lemma 4.7.

The following statements hold:

(1) 

The v-sheaf 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is formalizing.

(2) 

Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
 is formalizing for any formal Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
.

(3) 

A small v-sheaf 
ℱ
 is v-formalizing if and only if it is v-locally formal.

Proof.

Let 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
∈
Perf
 in characteristic 
𝑝
 and an untilt 
𝜄
:
(
𝑅
♯
)
♭
→
𝑅
. Let 
𝜉
=
𝑝
+
[
𝜛
]
​
𝛼
 be a generator of the kernel of 
𝑊
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
(
𝑅
♯
)
+
. The image of 
𝜉
 under 
𝑊
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
𝑊
​
(
𝐴
+
)
 defines an untilt of 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 for every map 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
, and gives a map 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
. Now, given 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐵
)
 we get 
𝐵
→
𝑅
♯
,
+
 and 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
. For the third claim, assume that 
ℱ
 is v-formalizing. Since it is small there is a set 
𝐼
 and a surjective map by a union of affinoid perfectoid spaces 
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
Spa
​
(
𝑅
𝑖
,
𝑅
𝑖
+
)
→
ℱ
. After refining this cover we may assume that each 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
𝑖
,
𝑅
𝑖
+
)
→
ℱ
 formalizes to 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
𝑖
+
)
→
ℱ
. Then 
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
Spd
​
(
𝑅
𝑖
+
)
→
ℱ
 is surjective, so 
ℱ
 is v-locally formal. If 
ℱ
 is v-locally formal a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
 will v-locally factor through a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
)
. By the second claim, this map formalizes 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
)
. ∎

Proposition 4.8.

The following properties are easy to verify.

(1) 

If 
𝑓
:
ℱ
→
𝒢
 is a surjective map of small v-sheaves and 
ℱ
 is v-formalizing then 
𝒢
 is v-formalizing.

(2) 

If 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
)
∈
PCAlg
𝔽
𝑝
op
 then 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
)
⋄
 is formalizing.

(3) 

If 
𝑋
∈
SchPerf
~
 then 
𝑋
⋄
 is v-formalizing by 3.30.

(4) 

Non-empty v-formalizing v-sheaves have non-empty reduction. Quasi-separated diamonds are not v-formalizing.

(5) 

If 
ℱ
 formalizes 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
 then 
ℱ
 formalizes 
𝑓
∘
𝑔
 for any map 
𝑔
:
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
.

Proposition 4.9.

Let 
ℱ
 be a small v-sheaf, and 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
 a map with 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 affinoid perfectoid in characteristic 
𝑝
. If 
ℱ
 is formally separated then 
𝑓
 admits at most one formalization.

Proof.

Pick two maps 
𝑔
𝑖
:
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
 that agree on 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
. Consider 
(
𝑔
1
,
𝑔
2
)
:
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
, and the pullback along 
Δ
ℱ
:
ℱ
→
ℱ
×
ℱ
 to get 
𝒢
⊆
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
 a formally closed subsheaf. We prove 
𝒢
=
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
, it suffices to show 
|
𝒢
|
=
|
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
|
. Moreover, since 
|
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
|
⊆
|
𝒢
|
 and 
|
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
|
=
|
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
|
∪
|
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
⋄
|
 it suffices to prove 
|
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
|
=
|
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
⋄
|
. We first assume 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
=
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
 for 
𝐶
 is a nonarchimedean field and 
𝐶
+
⊆
𝐶
 an open and bounded valuation subring. Let 
𝑘
+
=
𝐶
red
+
 and 
𝑘
=
Frac
​
(
𝑘
+
)
, then 
Spec
​
(
𝑘
+
)
=
Spd
​
(
𝐶
+
)
red
 and by 3.31 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
=
Spec
​
(
𝑘
+
/
𝐼
)
⋄
 for some ideal 
𝐼
. Since 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
⊆
𝒢
 and 
|
𝒢
|
 is closed, 
|
𝒢
|
 contains the formal specialization of 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝑂
𝐶
)
, which is the image of 
Spec
​
(
𝑘
)
⋄
. By formal adicness 
|
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
|
=
|
𝒢
|
∩
|
Spec
​
(
𝑘
+
)
⋄
|
 and we can conclude that 
Spec
​
(
𝑘
)
⋄
⊆
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
. This proves 
𝐼
=
{
0
}
 and 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
=
Spec
​
(
𝑘
+
)
⋄
 in this case.

In the general case, for every map 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 the canonical formalization 
Spd
​
(
𝐶
+
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
 factors through 
𝒢
. In particular, after taking reduction, the map 
Spec
​
(
𝑘
+
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
 factors through 
𝒢
red
. This says that 
|
𝒢
red
|
 contains every point of 
|
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
|
 in the image of the specialization map. By 3.31 
𝒢
red
→
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
 is a closed immersion and by 4.2 the specialization map is surjective, these two imply that 
𝒢
red
=
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
. ∎

Proposition 4.10.

The following statements hold:

(1) 

Given two maps of v-sheaves 
ℱ
→
ℋ
, 
𝒢
→
ℋ
 if 
ℱ
 and 
𝒢
 are v-formalizing and 
ℋ
 is formally separated then 
ℱ
×
ℋ
𝒢
 is v-formalizing.

(2) 

The subcategory of v-sheaves that are v-formalizing and formally separated is stable under fiber product and contains 
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
.

Proof.

Given a map 
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
→
ℱ
×
ℋ
𝒢
 we can find a cover 
Spa
​
(
𝐵
,
𝐵
+
)
→
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
 for which the compositions with the projections to 
ℱ
 and 
𝒢
 are both formalizable. By formal separatedness any pair of choices of formalizations 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
+
)
→
𝒢
 and to 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
+
)
→
ℱ
 define the same formalization to 
ℋ
 and a map to 
ℱ
×
ℋ
𝒢
. The second claim follows from the stability of separatedness by basechange and composition, from 3.28 and from 3.30. Indeed, we need to prove that 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
×
(
ℋ
red
)
⋄
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
 is a subsheaf of 
ℱ
×
ℋ
𝒢
, but this follows from knowing that 
ℱ
red
 (respectively 
ℋ
, 
𝒢
) is a subsheaf of 
ℱ
 (respectively 
ℋ
, 
𝒢
). ∎

Definition 4.11.

Let 
ℱ
∈
Perf
~
, we say it is specializing if it is formally separated and v-locally formal.

Definition 4.12.

Let 
ℱ
 be a specializing v-sheaf and let 
𝑓
:
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
Spd
​
(
𝐵
𝑖
)
→
ℱ
 be a surjective map. The specialization map for 
ℱ
, denoted 
sp
ℱ
, is the unique map 
sp
ℱ
:
|
ℱ
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 making the following diagram commutative:

∐
𝑖

𝑓

Remark 4.13.

We use 4.9 to prove that this map of sets is well defined and does not depend on the choices taken. Indeed, given 
[
𝑥
]
∈
|
ℱ
|
 we take a formalizable representative 
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
,
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
ℱ
. Consider, its unique formalization 
Spd
​
(
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
→
ℱ
 and apply reduction to obtain 
Spec
​
(
(
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
red
)
→
ℱ
red
. The maximal ideal of 
(
𝐾
𝑥
+
)
red
 maps to 
sp
ℱ
​
(
[
𝑥
]
)
.

Proposition 4.14.

For any specializing v-sheaf 
ℱ
 the specialization map 
sp
ℱ
:
|
ℱ
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 is continuous. Moreover, this construction is functorial in the category of specializing v-sheaves.

Proof.

Functoriality follows from uniqueness of formalizations, functoriality of the reduction functor and 4.13. For continuity, take a cover 
𝑓
:
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
Spd
​
(
𝑅
𝑖
+
)
→
ℱ
. We get the following commutative diagram:

∣
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
Spd
​
(
𝑅
𝑖
+
)
∣
∣
ℱ
∣
∣
Spec

)
red
)
∣
∣
ℱ
red
∣
𝑓
sp
𝑅
𝑖
+
sp
ℱ
𝑓
red

Now, 
𝑓
red
 is continuous by 3.14, 
𝑓
 is continuous and a quotient map, and the maps 
sp
𝑅
𝑖
+
 are continuous by 4.2. Since the diagram is commutative, the map 
sp
ℱ
 is also continuous. ∎

4.3.Pre-kimberlites, formal schemes and formal neighborhoods
Definition 4.15.

Let 
ℱ
 be a specializing v-sheaf. We say 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite if:

(1) 

ℱ
red
 is represented by a scheme.

(2) 

The map 
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
→
ℱ
 coming from adjunction is a closed immersion.

If 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite, we let the analytic locus be 
ℱ
an
=
ℱ
∖
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
.

In what follows, we prove that the v-sheaf associated to separated formal schemes are prekimberlites. For this we fix a convention of what we mean by a “formal scheme”. We follow [19, §2.2].

Convention 1.

Denote by 
Nilp
ℤ
𝑝
 the category of algebras in which 
𝑝
 is nilpotent, and endow 
Nilp
ℤ
𝑝
op
 with the structure of a site by giving it the Zariski topology. By a formal scheme 
𝔛
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
 we mean a Zariski sheaf on 
Nilp
ℤ
𝑝
op
 which is Zariski locally of the form 
Spf
​
(
𝐴
)
. Here 
𝐴
 is a topological ring given the 
𝐼
-adic topology for a finitely generated ideal of 
𝐴
 containing 
𝑝
, and 
Spf
​
(
𝐴
)
 denotes the functor 
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
↦
lim
→
𝑛
⁡
Hom
​
(
𝐴
/
𝐼
𝑛
,
𝐵
)
.

For a formal scheme 
𝔛
 over 
ℤ
𝑝
 we let 
𝔛
red
 denote its reduction in the sense of formal schemes ([21, Tag 0AIN]). Recall that this is a sheaf in 
Nilp
ℤ
𝑝
op
 which is representable by a scheme. Moreover, the map 
𝔛
red
→
𝔛
 is relatively representable in schemes, it is a closed immersion and for any open 
Spf
​
(
𝐴
)
⊆
𝔛
 the pullback to 
𝔛
red
 is given by the reduced subscheme of 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
/
𝐼
)
 (for an ideal of definition 
𝐼
⊆
𝐴
).

We say that 
𝔛
 is separated if 
𝔛
red
 is a separated scheme ([21, Tag 0AJ7]).

Recall the following result of Scholze and Weinstein.6

Proposition 4.16.

([19, Proposition 2.2.1]) The functor 
Spf
​
(
𝐴
)
↦
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 extends to a fully faithful functor 
𝔛
↦
𝔛
ad
 from formal schemes over 
ℤ
𝑝
 as in 1 to the category of pre-adic spaces.

Proposition 4.17.

If 
𝔛
 is a separated formal scheme over 
ℤ
𝑝
, then 
(
𝔛
ad
)
♢
 is a prekimberlite.

Proof.

Let 
𝑋
=
𝔛
ad
 and let 
𝑊
=
𝑋
na
, then 
𝑊
=
(
𝔛
red
)
ad
. Clearly 
𝑋
♢
 is v-locally formal. By 3.18 we have 
(
𝑊
♢
)
red
=
(
𝑋
♢
)
red
 which is the perfection of 
𝔛
red
. The adjunction morphism agrees with the map 
𝑊
♢
→
𝑋
♢
 which by 1.21 is a closed immersion.

The only thing left to prove is that 
𝑋
♢
→
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
 is separated, we first prove that 
𝑋
♢
 is quasiseparated. Let 
𝑍
=
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 be a strictly totally disconnected space and take a map 
𝑓
:
𝑍
→
𝑋
♢
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
𝑋
♢
. Since 
𝑍
 splits any open cover we may assume that 
𝑓
 factors through an open neighborhood of the form 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
1
)
×
Spd
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
Spd
​
(
𝐵
2
)
 for an open subset 
Spf
​
(
𝐵
1
)
×
Spf
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
Spf
​
(
𝐵
2
)
⊆
𝔛
×
Spf
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
𝔛
. Consider the following basechange diagrams, where 
𝑌
=
𝔜
ad

𝔜
Spf
​
(
𝐵
1
)
×
Spf
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
Spf
​
(
𝐵
2
)
𝑌
Spa
​
(
𝐵
1
)
×
ℤ
𝑝
Spa
​
(
𝐵
2
)
𝔛
𝔛
×
Spf
​
(
ℤ
𝑝
)
𝔛
𝑋
𝑋
×
ℤ
𝑝
𝑋

Since 
𝔛
 is separated 
𝔜
 is quasicompact. This implies that 
𝑌
 admits a finite open cover of the form 
∐
𝑖
=
1
𝑛
Spa
​
(
𝐴
𝑖
)
→
𝑌
. Moreover, the diagonal map 
𝑋
→
𝑋
×
ℤ
𝑝
𝑋
 is adic. By 2.26 the maps 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
𝑖
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
1
)
×
ℤ
𝑝
Spd
​
(
𝐵
2
)
 are quasicompact, which proves that 
𝑌
♢
→
Spd
​
(
𝐵
1
)
×
ℤ
𝑝
Spd
​
(
𝐵
2
)
 and any basechange of it is also quasicompact. Now we may use the valuative criterion of separatedness [18, Proposition 10.9]. Given 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
,
𝑂
𝐾
)
→
𝑋
♢
 we must show there is at most one extension to 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐾
+
)
→
𝑋
♢
 where 
𝐾
+
⊆
𝑂
𝐾
 is an open and bounded valuation subring. Maps 
Spa
​
(
𝐾
,
𝐾
+
)
→
𝑋
♢
 are in bijection with maps 
Spf
​
(
𝐾
+
)
→
𝔛
. On the other hand, maps 
𝑔
:
Spf
​
(
𝐾
+
)
→
𝔛
 are in bijection with pairs 
(
𝑔
𝜂
,
𝑔
𝑠
)
 where 
𝑔
𝜂
:
Spf
​
(
𝑂
𝐾
)
→
𝔛
, 
𝑔
𝑠
:
Spec
​
(
𝐾
+
/
𝐾
∘
∘
)
→
𝔛
red
 and such that 
𝑔
𝜂
=
𝑔
𝑠
 when we restrict the maps to 
Spec
​
(
𝑂
𝐾
/
𝐾
∘
∘
)
. At this point we may use the valuative criterion of separatedness of 
𝔛
red
. ∎

Definition 4.18.

Let 
ℱ
 be a prekimberlite and let 
𝑆
⊆
ℱ
red
 be a locally closed immersion of schemes. We let 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
, the formal neighborhood of 
𝑆
 on 
ℱ
, be the subsheaf given by the Cartesian diagram:

ℱ
^
/
𝑆
∣
𝑆
∣
¯
ℱ
∣
ℱ
∣
¯
∣
ℱ
red
∣
¯
sp
ℱ

If 
𝑆
⊆
ℱ
red
 is open we call it open formal neighborhood.

Proposition 4.19.

Suppose 
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
)
 is a formal Huber pair over 
ℤ
𝑝
 with ideal of definition 
𝐼
. Let 
𝐽
⊆
𝐴
 be a finitely generated ideal containing 
𝐼
 and 
𝐵
 the completion of 
𝐴
 with respect to 
𝐽
. The closed immersion of schemes, 
𝑆
=
Spec
​
(
𝐵
red
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
, induces an identification 
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
^
/
𝑆
=
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
.

Proof.

Let 
𝑆
=
Spec
​
(
𝐵
red
)
 and 
𝑇
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
)
. The reduction of 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝐴
)
 induces 
𝑆
→
𝑇
. Since specialization is functorial, points coming from 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
 specialize to 
𝑆
. Consequently, the map factors as 
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
→

Spd
​
(

^

, let

 factors through

𝑓
​
(
𝑎

 is nilpotent in 
Spec
​
(
𝑅

. Since 
𝐽
 is finitely generated there is an 
𝑚
 for which 
𝐽
𝑚
⊆

𝜛

 in 
𝑅

. This proves that the map 
𝑓
:
𝐴

𝑅

 is continuous for the 
𝐽
-adic topology on 
𝐴

𝑅

 is complete the map

 factors through

Proposition 4.20.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝒢
→
ℱ
 be a map of prekimberlites and 
𝑆
⊆
|
ℱ
red
|
 a locally closed subscheme. Let 
𝑇
=
𝑆
×
ℱ
red
𝒢
red
, then 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
×
ℱ
𝒢
=
𝒢
^
/
𝑇
. In particular, 
𝒢
→
ℱ
 factors through 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 if and only if 
𝒢
red
→
ℱ
red
 factors through 
𝑆
.

Proof.

Since 
𝑆
 is a locally closed 
|
𝑇
|
=
|
𝑆
|
×
|
ℱ
red
|
|
𝒢
red
|
. The rest is a standard diagram chase. ∎

Proposition 4.21.

Let 
ℱ
 be a prekimberlite and let 
𝑆
⊆
|
ℱ
red
|
 a locally closed subset, then 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is a prekimberlite and 
(
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
)
red
=
𝑆
.

Proof.

The formula 
(
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
)
red
=
𝑆
 follows from observing that by 4.20 a map 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
⋄
→
ℱ
 factors through 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 if and only if the adjunction map 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
→
ℱ
red
 factors through 
𝑆
. Since 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is a subsheaf of a separated v-sheaf it is separated as well. The map 
𝑆
⋄
→
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is injective, so 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is formally separated. Take a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
⊆
ℱ
. After replacing 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 by a v-cover we get a formalization 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
. By 4.20 this factors through 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 since 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
→
ℱ
red
 factors through 
𝑆
. We have proved 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is specializing, we prove 
𝑆
⋄
→
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is a closed immersion. Consider 
𝒢
=
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
×
ℱ
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
. Now, 
𝒢
→
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is a closed immersion, and by 4.20 
𝒢
 is 
(
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
)
^
/
𝑆
. If 
𝑆
 is a closed subscheme of 
ℱ
red
, then 
𝑆
⋄
→
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
 is proper, so 
𝑆
⋄
→
(
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
)
^
/
𝑆
 is a closed immersion. If 
𝑆
 is an open in 
ℱ
red
, then 
(
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
)
^
/
𝑆
=
𝑆
⋄
. By definition a locally closed subset 
𝑆
⊆
|
ℱ
red
|
 can regarded as a composition 
𝑆
→
𝑈
→
ℱ
red
 where 
𝑈
→
ℱ
 is an open immersion and 
𝑆
→
𝑈
 is a closed immersion. In this case 
(
ℱ
^
/
𝑈
)
^
/
𝑆
=
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
, applying the argument once to 
𝑈
⊆
|
ℱ
red
|
 and once to 
𝑆
⊆
𝑈
 we get the result. ∎

Proposition 4.22.

Let 
ℱ
 be a prekimberlite, 
𝑆
⊆
|
ℱ
red
|
 a locally closed constructible subset, then the map 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
→
ℱ
 is an open immersion.

Proof.

The question is Zariski local in 
ℱ
red
. Indeed, an open cover 
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
𝑈
𝑖
→
ℱ
red
 induces an open cover 
∐
𝑖
∈
𝐼
ℱ
^
/
𝑈
𝑖
→
ℱ
. We may assume that 
ℱ
red
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 and that 
𝑆
 is closed and constructible in 
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
. Write 
𝑆
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
/
𝐼
)
 for 
𝐼
⊆
𝐴
 an ideal, by constructibility we may assume that 
𝐼
 is finitely generated. Pick 
{
𝑖
1
,
…
,
𝑖
𝑛
}
 a list of generators for 
𝐼
, 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
∈
Perf
 and a map 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
. Let 
𝑋
:=
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
×
ℱ
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
, and let 
𝜛
∈
𝑅
+
 be a pseudo-uniformizer. Let 
{
𝑗
1
,
…
,
𝑗
𝑛
}
 be a list of lifts of 
{
𝑖
1
,
…
​
𝑖
𝑛
}
 to 
𝑅
+
. Then 
𝑋
 is the open subsheaf of 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
 defined by 
⋂
𝑘
=
1
𝑛
𝑁
𝑗
𝑘
≪
1
. Indeed, this follows from 4.20, 4.19 and 2.24. Since 
ℱ
 is v-formalizing every map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
 factors through 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
 after replacing 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 by a v-cover. By [18, Proposition 10.11] 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
→
ℱ
 is open. ∎

4.4.Heuer’s specialization map and étale formal neighborhoods

In [10], Heuer considers certain specialization maps. These are maps of v-sheaves rather than a map of topological spaces. We discuss his construction and use it to enhance our theory.

Definition 4.23.

([10, Definition 5.1]) Let 
𝑋
 be a scheme over 
𝔽
𝑝
. We attach a presheaf 
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 defined by the (analytic sheafification of the) formula 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
↦
𝑋
​
(
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
)
, where 
𝑅
red
+
=
𝑅
+
/
𝑅
∘
∘
.

In [10, Lemma 5.2], Heuer proves that 
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is a v-sheaf and that when 
𝑋
 is affine the sheafification is not necessary. There is an evident map 
𝑋
⋄
→
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
.

Proposition 4.24.

If 
𝑋
 is a perfect scheme over 
𝔽
𝑝
, then 
𝑋
=
(
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
)
red
. Moreover, if 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 is a totally disconnected perfectoid space then 
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
​
(
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
)
=
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
​
(
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
)
.

Proof.

Let 
𝑋
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
. The inclusion 
𝑋
⊆
(
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
)
red
 of scheme-theoretic v-sheaves is easy to verify. Now, 
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
(
Spec
(
𝑅
)
⋄
)
⊆
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
(
Spd
(
𝑅
(
(
𝑡
1
𝑝
∞
)
)
,
𝑅
[
[
𝑡
1
𝑝
∞
]
]
)
 and this latter is by [10, Lemma 5.2] the set of maps 
𝐴
→
𝑅
. So 
(
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
)
red
=
𝑋
. Moreover, let 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅

)
∈
Perf
, with pseudo-uniformizer 
𝜛
. Consider 
𝑈
=
(
Spd
​
(
𝑅

​
[
[

)
)
an

Spa
​
(
𝑅
1
,
𝑅
1
+
)
=
𝑈
​
(
𝜛
𝑡
)
 and 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
2
,
𝑅
2
+
)
=
𝑈
​
(
𝑡
𝜛
)
. Let 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
3
,
𝑅
3
+
)
=
𝑈
​
(
𝑡
𝜛
)
∩
𝑈
​
(
𝜛
𝑡

. One computes explicitly that 
𝑋

⁣

​
(

​

 for

=

⁣

​

​
(
Spa

 when 
𝑋
 is affine. Using the techniques of 2.32 we can glue and prove the general case. Indeed, open subschemes 
𝑓

𝑈

 induce open subsheaves

⁣
/
∘
:
𝑈
⋄

 and the delicate part of the glueing happens on 
|
Spec
​
(

|
 for test objects 
𝑅
, which is easily reduced to 
𝑅
=
𝑉
 a valuation ring. Following the proof loc. cit. we get to a similar diagram:

 and a map

 if

 also does. Since totally disconnected perfectoid spaces split open covers we can conclude

. ∎

Suppose 
𝑋
 is a prekimberlite and 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
∈
Perf
. Let 
𝑓
:
Spa
​
(
𝑅

𝑅

)
→
𝑋
 be a formalizable map, applying reduction to the formalization we obtain a map 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red

)
→
𝑋
red
, or in other words a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅

)
→
(
𝑋

)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. Overall, we obtain a natural transformation 
SP
𝑋
:
𝑋
→
(
𝑋

)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. This is the type of specialization map that Heuer considers. With this switch of perspective we can reinterpret formal neighborhoods: if 
𝑆
⊆
|
𝑋
red
|
 is a locally closed subset we get a map 
𝑆
⋄
⁣
/
∘
→
(
𝑋

⁣

∘
 and 
ℱ

𝑆

𝑋
×
(
𝑋
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
𝑆
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. Under this light, 4.22 is simply proving that 
𝑆
⋄
⁣
/
∘
→
(
𝑋
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is an open immersion when 
𝑆
 is constructible. Moreover, this leads to a good notion of “étale formal neighborhoods” of a prekimberlite.

Lemma 4.25.

If 
𝑉
→
𝑋
 is a quasicompact, separated étale map of perfect schemes over 
𝔽
𝑝
, then 
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
→
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is separated, quasicompact, formally adic and étale.

Proof.

The formation of 
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 commutes with finite limits and preserves open immersions. If 
𝑉
→
𝑋
 is separated then 
𝑉
→
𝑉
×
𝑋
𝑉
 is open and closed, the same holds for 
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
→
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
×
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 which proves separatedness. We prove formal adicness. Let 
𝑌
=
𝑉
⋄
⁣
/
∘
×
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
𝑋
⋄
, we get a map 
𝑉
⋄
→
𝑌
. We prove this map is an isomorphism after basechange by any map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
𝑋
⋄
. Let 
𝑌
𝑅
:=
𝑌
×
𝑋
⋄
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
, we may assume 
𝑚
 factors through 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
+
)
⋄
→
𝑋
⋄
 since this happens v-locally. Now, before sheafification 
𝑌
𝑅
​
(
𝑆
,
𝑆
+
)
 parametrizes lifts of 
Spec
​
(
𝑆
red
+
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝑅
red
+
)
→
𝑋
 to 
𝑉
. By invariance of the étale site under perfection (respectively nilpotent thickenings), this is the same as parametrizing lifts of 
Spec
​
(
𝑆
+
/
𝜛
)
→
𝑋
 to 
𝑉
 (respectively of 
Spf
​
(
𝑆
+
)
→
𝑋
 to 
𝑉
). In other words, 
𝑌
𝑅
 fits in the following Cartesian diagram:

𝑌
𝑅
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
Spec
​
(
𝑅
+
)
⋄
×
𝑋
⋄
𝑉
⋄
Spec
​
(
𝑅
+
)
⋄

But this is precisely 
𝑉
⋄
×
𝑋
⋄
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
. For quasicompactness and étaleness we can argue locally and assume 
𝑋
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 and 
𝑉
=
Spec
​
(
𝐵
)
. Indeed, this follows from the quasicompactness of the specialization map for Tate Huber pairs. Arguing as above, for a map 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
𝑋
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 the basechange is represented by 
Spa
​
(
𝑆
,
𝑆
+
)
 where 
𝑆
+
 is the unique étale 
𝑅

-algebra lifting 
𝑅
red

⊗
𝐴
𝐵
. ∎

Definition 4.26.

Suppose

qc

t
 be the category that has as objects maps 
𝑓

𝑇

 where 
𝑇
 is a prekimberlite and 
𝑓
 is formally adic, étale and quasicompact. Morphisms are maps of v-sheaves commuting with the structure map. We call objects in this category the étale formal neighborhoods of 
𝑋
.

Morphisms in 
𝑋
for
​
-
​
e
´
​
t

𝑆
 we let

e

qc

 denote the category of schemes étale, quasicompact and separated over

Theorem 4.27.

For 
𝑋
 a prekimberlite, reduction 
(
−
)
red
:
(
𝑋

qc
,
for
​
-
​
e
´
​
t
≅
(
𝑋
red

qc
,
e
´
​
t

sep
 is an equivalence.

Step 1: 

If a morphism 
𝑓
:
𝑌
→
𝑊
 in 
(
𝑋

qc
,
for
​
-
​
e
´
​
t
 induces an isomorphism 
𝑓
red
:
𝑌
red
→
𝑊
red
 then 
𝑓
 is an isomorphism.

Proof.

The sheaf-theoretic image of 
𝑌
 in 
𝑊
 is an open subsheaf of 
𝑊
 containing 
𝑊
red
 so it must be 
𝑊
. This proves surjectivity. Since the map is qcqs we may prove injectivity on geometric points. We reduce to the case where 
𝑊
=
Spd
​
(
𝐶
+
,
𝐶
+
)
, and the geometric point is given by the inclusion 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶

)
⊆
Spd
​
(
𝐶

. In this case, 
𝑌
an
 has the form 
∐
𝑖

Spa

𝐶

 with 
𝐶

𝑊

 so that 
𝑌

 by a v-cover we may assume that 
Spa

 is formalizable. The map 
Spd
​
(

𝑛
=

Proof.

Maps from

 are in bijection with open and closed subsheaves 
𝑊

𝑋
𝑌
 whose projection to

 are in bijection with open and closed subschemes of

 whose projection to

Proof.

If

 we let

SP
𝑋
. By 4.25, 
𝑋
^

𝑉

𝑋

𝑋
^

𝑉
 also is. Although they are not formally separated, by 4.24, 
(
𝑋
red
)

⁣

∘

𝑉

⁣

 still formalize uniquely totally disconnected spaces, this proves 
𝑋
^

𝑉
 is also v-formalizing and a specializing v-sheaf. It is a prekimberlite since 
(

red

, and the map 
𝑉

𝑋
^

 is closed. ∎

If 
𝑋

Corollary 4.28.

Let

e

​
t

𝑋

 for a formal scheme 
𝔛

𝔜
 with 
𝑌

♢
.

Remark 4.29.

If 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ

𝒟
)
 is a smelted kimberlite, by 4.27, we obtain a morphism of sites 
Ψ
′
:
𝒟
e
´
​
t
→
(
ℱ
red
)
e
´
​
t
. This allows us to form a “naive nearby cycles functor” 
R
​
Ψ
′
. If 
𝑗
:
𝒟

ℱ
←
(
ℱ

:
𝑖
 denote the inclusions, Scholze’s 
6
-functor formalism give us already a nearby cycles functor 
𝑖
∗
​
R
​
𝑗
∗
. It is an interesting question to understand the relation between these two functors. We have partial progress in answering this question. We will report our findings on a future work.

Observe that 
SP
𝑋
:
𝑋
→
(
𝑋
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is separated. This allows us to make the following definition.

Definition 4.30.

A prekimberlite is valuative if 
SP
𝑋
:
𝑋
→
(
𝑋
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is partially proper.

Proposition 4.31.

If 
𝔛
 is a separated formal scheme over 
ℤ
𝑝
 as in 1, then 
𝔛
♢
 is valuative.

Proof.

By [18, Proposition 18.6], one can verify partial properness open locally on the target, this reduces to the case 
𝔛
=
Spd
​
(
𝐵
)
. The valuative criterion asks if given a map 
𝐵

𝑅
♯
,
∘
 such that 
𝐵
red
→
𝑅
red
♯
,
∘
 factors through 
𝑅
red
♯
,
+
 then 
𝐵
→
𝑅
♯
,
∘
 factors through 
𝑅

𝑅

=
𝑅

𝑅

𝑅

Proposition 4.32.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝑋
→
𝑌
 be a map of prekimberlites. If 
𝑓
 is partially proper and 
𝑌
 is valuative then 
𝑋
 is valuative.

Proof.

It follows from two facts: 
𝑋
→
(
𝑌
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is partially proper and 
𝑋
→
(
𝑋
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is separated. ∎

Proposition 4.33.

If 
ℱ
 is a valuative prekimberlite then 
sp
ℱ
:
|
ℱ

→
|
ℱ
red
|
 is specialising as a map of topological spaces.

Proof.

Let 
𝑟

𝑥

sp

(

 and 
𝑦
∈

 specializing from 
𝑥

𝑞
 specializing from 
𝑟
 that maps to 
𝑦
. Pick a formalizable representative 
𝑓
𝑟
:
Spa
​

𝐶

𝐾

𝑥
 is the image of closed point under 
𝑓
𝑥

Spec

(
𝐾

ℱ
red
. Let 
𝑅
 be the local ring obtained by intersecting the closure of 
𝑥
 and the localization at 
𝑦
. Let 
𝑘
=
𝐾

/
𝔪
𝐾
+
, so that 
𝑅
⊆
𝑘
. By [21, Tag 00IA], we have a valuation subring 
𝑅
⊆
𝑉
⊆
𝑘
 such that 
Frac
​
(
𝑉
)
=
𝑘
 and 
𝑉
 dominates 
𝑅
. This induces a valuation subring 
𝐾

𝐾

 and a map 
𝑓
𝑦
:
Spec
​
(
𝐾

ℱ
red
 whose closed point maps to

⊆
𝐶

 with 
𝐶

⁣
+
/
𝐶
∘
∘

𝐾

𝑓
𝑦
 induces a map

 extending 
SP
ℱ

𝑓
𝑟

𝑓
𝑞

Spa

ℱ
 and clearly 
sp

Proposition 4.34.

Formal neighborhoods and étale formal neighborhoods of valuative prekimberlites are valuative prekimberlites.

Proof.

This is immediate from their expression as a basechange. ∎

4.5.Kimberlites and smelted kimberlites
Definition 4.35.

Let 
ℱ
 be a valuative prekimberlite.

(1) 

A smelted kimberlite 
𝒦
 is a pair 
𝒦
:=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
, where 
𝒟
⊆
ℱ
an
 is an open subsheaf such that 
𝒟
 is a quasiseparated locally spatial diamond, and such that the map 
𝒟
→
ℱ
 is partially proper.

(2) 

We define the specialization map 
sp
𝒦
:
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 as the composition 
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
|
→
sp
ℱ
|
ℱ
red
|
. If the context is clear, we write 
sp
𝒟
 instead of 
sp
𝒦
.

(3) 

We say 
𝒢
 is a kimberlite if 
𝒦
𝒢
:=
(
𝒢
,
𝒢
an
)
 is a smelted-kimberlite and 
sp
𝒦
𝒢
 is quasicompact.

Remark 4.36.

Given a valuative prekimberlite 
ℱ
 one is mostly interested in smelted kimberlites 
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 where 
𝒟
=
ℱ
an
 or where 
𝒟
=
ℱ
×
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐾
)
Spd
​
(
𝐾
,
𝑂
𝐾
)
 when 
ℱ
 comes with a map 
ℱ
→
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐾
)
 for 
𝑂
𝐾
 a complete rank 
1
 valuation ring. Notice that 
ℱ
an
→
ℱ
 is always partially proper if 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite.

Remark 4.37.

Let 
ℱ
 be a kimberlite. The quasicompactness hypothesis of 
sp
ℱ
an
 is equivalent to asking that 
sp
ℱ
an
−
1
​
(
𝑈
)
 is a spatial diamond for all 
𝑈
⊆
ℱ
red
 with 
𝑈
 affine.

Definition 4.38.

Let 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 be a smelted kimberlite. Given a constructible locally closed subset 
𝑆
⊆
ℱ
red
 we let 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
=
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
×
ℱ
𝒟
. We call this subsheaf the tubular neighborhood of 
𝒟
 around 
𝑆
. If 
𝒢
 is a kimberlite we write 
𝒢
/
𝑆
⊚
 for 
𝒢
^
/
𝑆
×
𝒢
𝒢
an
.

Proposition 4.39.

If 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 is a smelted kimberlite, then 
(
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
,
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
)
 is a smelted kimberlite. Moreover, 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
 is the open subdiamond corresponding to the interior of 
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
 in 
|
𝒟
|
.

Proof.

By 4.34 
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is a valuative prekimberlite, and by basechange 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
→
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
 is partially proper open. Moreover, 4.22 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
→
𝒟
 is an open immersion, so 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
 is a quasiseparated locally spatial diamond. For the second claim, let 
𝑇
⊆
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
 be the largest subset stable under generization. It suffices to prove 
𝑇
⊆
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
 since by 4.22 we already have 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
⊆
(
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
)
int
⊆
𝑇
. Take 
𝑥
∈
𝑇
 and a formalizable geometric point 
𝜄
𝑥
:
Spa
​
(
𝐶
𝑥
,
𝐶
𝑥
+
)
→
ℱ
 over 
𝑥
. Since every generization of 
𝑥
 is in 
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
 the map 
Spec
​
(
(
𝐶
𝑥
+
)
red
)
→
ℱ
red
 factors through 
𝑆
, so 
𝜄
𝑥
 factors through 
𝒟
/
𝑆
⊚
=
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
∩
𝒟
 by 4.20. ∎

Theorem 4.40.

Let 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 be a smelted kimberlite and 
𝒢
 be a kimberlite, the following hold:

(1) 

sp
𝒟
:
|
𝒟
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 is a specializing, spectral map of locally spectral spaces.

(2) 

sp
𝒢
an
:
|
𝒢
an
|
→
|
𝒢
red
|
 is a closed map.

Proof.

Being specializing follows from 4.33 and the hypothesis that 
𝒟
→
ℱ
 is partially proper. The second claim follows easily from 1.15, from the first claim and from quasicompactness of 
sp
𝒢
an
. We need to prove that 
sp
𝒟
 is continuous for the constructible topology. We can argue on an open cover of 
|
𝒟
|
, so we may assume that 
𝒟
 is spatial. Find a formalizable cover 
𝑋
→
𝒟
 with 
𝑋
=
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
∈
Perf
, and consider the diagram:

∣
Spa
​
(
𝐴
,
𝐴
+
)
∣
cons
∣
𝒟
∣
cons
∣
Spec
​
(
𝐴
red
+
)
∣
cons
∣
ℱ
red
∣
cons
𝑔
sp
𝑋
sp
𝒟
𝑔
red

Since 
ℱ
red
 is represented by a scheme, by 3.16 
𝑔
red
 is continuous for the patch topology. Similarly, 
sp
𝑋
 is continuous and since 
𝒟
 is spatial by 1.18 
𝑔
 is also continuous. Moreover, 
𝑔
 is a surjective map of compact Hausdorff spaces and consequently a quotient map. Since the diagram commutes, 
sp
𝒦
 is continuous for the patch topology. ∎

Proposition 4.41.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝒢
→
ℱ
 be a formally closed immersion. The following hold:

(1) 

If 
ℱ
 is a specializing v-sheaf, then 
𝒢
 is a specializing v-sheaf.

(2) 

If 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite, then 
𝒢
 is a prekimberlite.

(3) 

If 
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 forms a smelted kimberlite then 
(
𝒢
,
𝒢
∩
𝒟
)
 forms a smelted kimberlite.

(4) 

If 
ℱ
 is a kimberlite, then 
𝒢
 is a kimberlite.

Proof.

Suppose 
ℱ
 is specializing, since 
𝒢
 is a subsheaf of 
ℱ
 it is separated, and by formal adicness 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
→
𝒢
 is injective. Pick 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
∈
Perf
 and a map 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
, the basechange 
𝑋
:=
𝒢
×
ℱ
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
 is a formally closed subsheaf of 
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
. Reasoning as in 4.9 we conclude 
𝑋
=
Spd
​
(
𝑅
+
)
 when 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
→
ℱ
 factors through 
𝒢
. This proves that 
𝒢
 is v-formalizing and a specializing sheaf. Suppose 
ℱ
 is a prekimberlite. By formal adicness 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
→
𝒢
 is a closed immersion. Now, 
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
→
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
 is also a formally closed immersion and by 3.31 
𝒢
red
 is represented by a closed subscheme of 
ℱ
. This proves that 
𝒢
 is a prekimberlite. Since closed immersions are partially proper the map 
ℱ
→
(
𝒢
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
 is partially proper. Consequently, the same holds for 
ℱ
→
(
ℱ
red
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. That 
(
𝒢
,
𝒢
∩
𝒟
)
 is a smelted kimberlite follows from [18, Proposition 11.20]. If 
ℱ
 is a kimberlite, then 
𝒢
an
=
ℱ
an
×
ℱ
𝒢
 so 
(
𝒢
,
𝒢
an
)
 is a smelted kimberlite. The quasicompactness hypothesis on 
sp
𝒢
an
 follows from that of 
sp
ℱ
an
 and that closed immersions are quasicompact. ∎

Proposition 4.42.

Let 
ℱ
 be a prekimberlite and 
𝑉
→
ℱ
red
 a quasicompact, separated and étale map. The following hold:

(1) 

If 
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 is a smelted kimberlite, then 
(
ℱ
^
/
𝑉
,
𝒟
×
ℱ
ℱ
^
/
𝑉
)
 is a smelted kimberlite.

(2) 

If 
ℱ
 is a kimberlite 
ℱ
^
/
𝑉
 is a kimberlite.

Proof.

This follows from 4.25, form 4.34, and [18, Corollary 11.28]. ∎

4.6.Finiteness and normality

In this section, we discuss a finiteness and a normality hypothesis imposed on kimberlites to tame them. These notions are ad hoc, but they turned out to be useful for applications.

Let us give some motivation. Suppose 
𝒳
 is a formal scheme topologically of finite type over 
ℤ
𝑝
, let 
𝑋
𝜂
 denote the generic fiber considered as an adic space and let 
𝑋
red
 denote the reduced special fiber. In this situation, we have a specialization map 
sp
𝑋
𝜂
:
|
𝑋
𝜂
|
→
|
𝑋
red
|
, and for a fixed closed point 
𝑥
∈
|
𝑋
red
|
 we have the following chain of inclusions 
|
𝒳
/
𝑥
⊚
|
⊆
sp
𝑋
𝜂
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
⊆
|
𝑋
𝜂
|
. These inclusions satisfy:

(1) 

sp
𝑋
𝜂
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
 is a closed subset.

(2) 

|
𝒳
/
𝑥
⊚
|
 is the interior of 
sp
𝑋
𝜂
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
 in 
|
𝑋
𝜂
|
.

(3) 

|
𝒳
/
𝑥
⊚
|
 is dense in 
sp
𝑋
𝜂
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)

The first two conditions generalize, by 4.39, to the case of kimberlites whose closed points are constructible. Our finiteness condition is sufficient to make a kimberlite have the third property as well. As the next example shows finiteness hypothesis are necessary for this third property to hold.

Example 4.43.

Let 
𝐶
 be a nonarchimedean field and 
𝐶
+
⊆
𝐶
 an open and bounded valuation subring whose rank is strictly larger than 
1
. Then 
sp
𝐶
 is a homeomorphism between 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
 and 
Spec
​
(
𝐶
+
/
𝐶
∘
∘
)
. If 
𝑥
 denotes the closed point of 
Spec
​
(
𝐶
+
/
𝐶
∘
∘
)
 then 
𝑦
=
sp
𝐶
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
 is the closed point in 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
+
)
. The interior of 
{
𝑦
}
 is empty.

Definition 4.44.

We say that a locally spatial diamond 
𝑋
 is constructibly Jacobson if the subset of rank 
1
 points are dense for the constructible topology of 
|
𝑋
|
. We refer to them as cJ-diamonds.

Proposition 4.45.

Suppose that 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 is a smelted kimberlite with 
𝒟
 a cJ-diamond, let 
𝑆
⊆
|
ℱ
|
 a constructible subset. Then 
|
𝒟
∩
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
|
 is dense in 
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
.

Proof.

By the proof of 4.22, 
|
𝒟
∩
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
|
 is the largest subset of 
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
 stable under generization. Now, 
sp
𝒦
−
1
​
(
𝑆
)
 is open in the patch topology of 
|
𝒟
|
 and by assumption rank 
1
 points are dense in it. Since rank 
1
 points are stable under generization, they belong to 
|
𝒟
∩
ℱ
^
/
𝑆
|
. This proves that

Proposition 4.46.

Let 
𝑓
:
𝑋
→
𝑌
 be a morphism of locally spatial diamonds the following hold:

(1) 

If 
|
𝑓
|
 is surjective and 
𝑋
 is a cJ-diamond, then 
𝑌
 is a cJ-diamond.

(2) 

If 
𝑓
 is an open immersion and 
𝑌
 is a cJ-diamond, then 
𝑋
 is a cJ-diamond.

(3) 

If 
𝑓
 realizes 
𝑋
 as a quasi-pro-étale 
𝐽
¯
-torsor over 
𝑌
 for a profinite group 
𝐽
 and 
𝑋
 is a cJ-diamond, then 
𝑌
 is a cJ-diamond.

(4) 

If 
𝑓
 is étale and 
𝑌
 is a cJ-diamond, then 
𝑋
 is a cJ-diamond.

Proof.

Maps of locally spatial diamonds induce spectral and generalizing maps of locally spectral spaces. The first claim follows easily from this. Suppose that 
𝑌
 is a cJ-diamond. If 
𝑓
 is an open immersion, any open in the patch topology of 
𝑋
 is also open in the patch topology of 
𝑌
. This proves the second claim. Moreover, this allow us to argue locally, so we can assume 
𝑋
 and 
𝑌
 are spatial. If 
𝑓
 is étale, by [18, Lemma 11.31], locally we can write 
𝑓
 as the composition of an open immersion and a finite étale map. Spaces that are finite étale over a fixed spatial diamond form a Galois category and using the first claim we may reduce to the case in which 
𝑓
 is Galois with finite Galois group 
𝐺
. In this way, the fourth claim follows from the third. For the third claim, we prove that 
𝑓
 is an open map for the patch topology. This would finish the proof since the fibers of rank 
1
 points of a quasi-pro-étale map are also rank 
1
.

Let 
𝐽
=
lim
←
𝑖
⁡
𝐽
𝑖
 with 
𝐽
𝑖
 a cofiltered family of finite groups and denote by 
𝑓
𝑖
:
𝑋
𝑖
→
𝑌
 the induced 
𝐽
𝑖
-torsors. We get continuous action maps 
𝐽
𝑖
×
|
𝑋
𝑖
|
cons
→
|
𝑋
𝑖
|
cons
. Moreover, if 
𝑆
⊆
|
𝑋
𝑖
|
 then 
𝑓
𝑖
−
1
​
(
𝑓
𝑖
​
(
𝑆
)
)
=
𝐽
𝑖
⋅
𝑆
. Now, the formation of the patch topology on a spectral space commutes with limits along spectral maps. This gives a continuous action map 
𝐽
×
|
𝑋
|
cons
→
|
𝑋
|
cons
. Let 
𝑈
⊆
𝑋
 be open in the patch topology, then 
𝑓
−
1
​
(
𝑓
​
(
𝑈
)
)
=
𝐽
⋅
𝑈
 which is also open. We can conclude since 
|
𝑓
|
cons
:
|
𝑋
|
cons
→
|
𝑌
|
cons
 is a quotient map. ∎

We recall a theorem of Huber. His statement is stronger, but we only need this weaker form.

Max

(

, with 
𝐾
 a complete nonarchimedean field over

Definition 4.50.

Let

𝑋
 a locally spatial diamond over

Proposition 4.51.

Let 
𝑋
 and 
𝑌
 be two locally spatial diamonds with enough facets over 
𝐶
, let 
𝐶
♯
 be an untilt of 
𝐶
, and 
𝐶

 a map of perfectoid fields. The following hold:

(1) 

The base change

(2) 

The fiber product 
𝑋

𝑌
 has enough facets over 
𝐶

(3) 

𝑋
 is a

If

(

 for a smooth and topologically of finite type 
𝐶
♯
-algebra 
𝐴
, then 
𝑋
 has enough facets.

Proof.

Since being topologically of finite type is stable under products and change of the ground field the first two claims follows. The third claim follows from 4.47 and 4.46. For the last claim, let

 there is

Definition 4.52.

Let 
𝒢
 be a kimberlite and 
𝒦
=
(

 a smelted kimberlite.

(1) 

We say that 
𝒦
 is rich if:

 is locally Noetherian and

We say that

If

 the tubular neighborhood

Lemma 4.53.

If 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 is a rich smelted kimberlite, then 
sp
𝒟
 is a quotient map.

Proof.

We can argue locally on 
|
ℱ
red
|
, so we may assume 
ℱ
red
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
⋄
. We first prove the case that 
|
ℱ
red
|
 is irreducible. Let 
𝑔
 be the generic point of 
|
ℱ
red
|
, let 
𝑟
∈

 with 
sp
𝒟
​
(

)
=
𝑔
 represented by formalizable map 
𝑓
𝑟
:
Spa
​
(

𝒟
. Let 
𝐶
𝑔
min
 be the minimal ring of integral elements of 
𝐶
 such that 
𝐶
𝑔
min
/
𝐶
∘
∘
 contains 
𝐴
. This defines a map 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
𝑔
min
)
→
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
⋄
⁣
/
∘
. By valuativity, we get a lift 
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
𝑔
min
)
→
𝒟
. The map 
𝑓
min
:
|
Spa
​
(
𝐶
,
𝐶
min
)
|
→
|
ℱ
red
|
 is specializing, surjective and a spectral map of spectral spaces. By 1.15, 
𝑓
min
 is a closed map and consequently a quotient map of topological spaces. The case in which 
|
ℱ
red
|
 has a finite number of irreducible components is analogous. Since we are allowed to work locally and we assumed 
|
ℱ
red
|
 is locally Noetherian, every point has an affine neighborhood with finitely many irreducible components. ∎

Proposition 4.54.

Constructible formal neighborhoods and étale formal neighborhoods preserve rich smelted kimberlites.

Proof.

This follows from 4.46, 4.22 and 4.24. ∎

The following lemma was the starting point of our theory of specialization and a key input for our work on connected components of moduli spaces of 
𝑝
-adic shtukas [9].

Lemma 4.55.

Let 
𝒦
=
(
ℱ
,
𝒟
)
 be a topologically normal rich smelted kimberlite. Then 
𝜋
0
​
(
sp
𝒟
)
:
𝜋
0
​
(
|
𝒟
|
)
→
𝜋
0
​
(
|
ℱ
red
|
)
 is bijective.

Proof.

Let 
𝑈
,
𝑉
⊆
|
𝒟
|
 be two non-empty closed-open subsets with 
𝑉
∪
𝑈
=
|
𝒟
|
. Clearly, 
𝜋
0
​
(
sp
𝒟
)
 is surjective. Suppose that 
∅
≠
sp
ℱ
​
(
𝑈
)
∩
sp
ℱ
​
(
𝑉
)
, it suffices to show that 
𝑈
∩
𝑉
≠
0
. Since 
sp
𝒟
 is specializing we can assume there is a closed point 
𝑥
∈
sp
𝒟
​
(
𝑈
)
∩
sp
𝒟
​
(
𝑉
)
. Since 
|
ℱ
red
|
 is locally Noetherian, closed points are open in the constructible topology. By 4.45, 
𝒟
/
𝑥
⊚
 is dense in 
sp
𝒟
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
, which implies that 
sp
𝒟
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
 is connected. Connectedness gives that 
(
sp

−
1
​
(
𝑥

∩
𝑈
)
∩
(
sp
𝒟
−
1
​
(
𝑥
)
∩
𝑉
)
≠
∅
 and in particular 
𝑈
∩
𝑉
≠
∅
 which is what we wanted to show. ∎

5.The specialization map for unramified 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians

So far our discussion has been purely theoretical. In this section, we apply the theory to construct and study the specialization map for some 
𝑝
-adic Beilinson–Drinfeld Grassmannians [20, Definition 20.3.1]. For the rest of the section 
𝐺
 denotes a reductive over 
ℤ
𝑝
 and we let 
𝑇
⊆
𝐵
⊆
𝐺
 denote integrally defined maximal torus and Borel subgroups respectively. Let 
𝜇
∈
𝑋
∗
+
​
(
𝑇
ℚ
¯
𝑝
)
 be a dominant cocharacter with reflex field 
𝐸
⊆
ℚ
¯
𝑝
. Let 
𝑂
𝐸
 denote the ring of integers of 
𝐸
 and let 
𝑘
𝐸
 denote the residue field. Let 
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 denote the v-sheaf parametrizing 
𝐵
dR
+
-lattices with 
𝐺
-structure whose relative position is bounded by 
𝜇
 as in [20, Defintion 20.5.3] and let 
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 denote the Witt vector affine Grassmannian. Let 
𝐹
 be a nonarchimedean field extension of 
𝐸
. Let 
𝑂
𝐹
 denote the ring of integers of 
𝐹
 and the residue field 
𝑘
𝐹
, assume that 
𝐹
 is complete for the 
𝑝
-adic topology and that 
𝑘
𝐹
 is perfect. Let 
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
:=
Gr
𝑂
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
×
Spd
​
(

Spd
​
(
𝑂

 and let 
Gr
𝒲

Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐸
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
×
Spec
​
(
𝑘
𝐸
)
Spec
​
(
𝑘
𝐹
)
. Here is our result:

Theorem 5.1.

Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 is a topologically normal rich 
𝑝
-adic kimberlite with 
(
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
)
red
=
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
.

Remark 5.2.

This result has partially been generalized in our collaboration [1]. There, we prove that the local models for parahoric groups are rich 
𝑝
-adic kimberlites. Nevertheless, we only improve the “normality” part of the result if we assume that 
𝜇
 is minuscule and outside certain cases in small characteristic.

5.1.Twisted loop sheaves

Fix a perfect field 
𝑘
 in characteristic 
𝑝
. Let 
𝑋
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 be a scheme of finite type over 
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
. In [18], Scholze associates to 
𝑋
 two v-sheaves over 
Spd
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
)
, which we denote 
𝑋
♢
 and 
𝑋
⋄
 following [1, Definition 2.10]. Here 
𝑋
♢
:
Perf
k

Sets
 assigns to 
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
 triples 
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝜄
,
𝑓
)
 with 
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝜄
)
 an untilt and 
𝑓
∈
Hom
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
​
(
𝐴
,
𝑅
♯
)
 is a 
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
-algebra homomorphism. On the other hand, 
𝑋
 assigns triples 
(
𝑅
♯
,
𝜄
,
𝑓
)
 with 
𝑓
∈
Hom
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
​
(
𝐴
,
𝑅
♯
,
+
)
. Now, 
𝑋
⋄
⊆
𝑋
♢
 is open. Both of these functors glue to a construction defined for schemes 
𝑋
 locally of finite type over 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
)
. Visibly, these constructions are related to 
♢
:
PreAd
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
→
Perf
~
. Let us elaborate.

Let 
𝑋
𝑝
 denote the 
𝑝
-adic completion of 
𝑋
. Now, 
𝑋
𝑝
 is a 
𝑝
-adic Noetherian formal scheme that we may regard as an adic space. We have an identification 
𝑋
𝑝
♢
=
𝑋
⋄
. If 
𝑋
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 and 
𝑋
𝑓
→
𝑋
 is the open 
𝑋
𝑓
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
​
[
1
𝑓
]
)
 with 
𝑓
∈
𝐴
, then 
(
𝑋
𝑓
)
𝑝
→
𝑋
𝑝
 is the locus in 
𝑋
𝑝
 where 
1
≤
|
𝑓
|
.

The construction of 
𝑋
♢
 is more elaborate. Given an adic space 
𝑆
 (thought of as a triple 
(
|
𝑆
|
,
𝒪
𝑆
,
{
𝑣
𝑠
:
𝑠
∈
|
𝑆
|
}
)
 in Huber’s category 
𝒱
 see [12]), we let 
𝑆
𝐻
 denote the topologically ringed space 
(
|
𝑆
|
,
𝒪
𝑆
)
 that is obtained from 
𝑆
 by forgetting the last entry of data. Suppose we are given a morphism of schemes 
𝑓
:
𝑋
→
𝑌
 that is locally of finite type and a morphism 
𝑔
:
𝑆
𝐻
→
𝑌
 of locally ringed spaces where 
𝑆
 is an adic space for which every point 
𝑠
∈
𝑆
 has an affinoid open neighborhood with Noetherian ring of definition. In [12, Proposition 3.8]), Huber constructs an adic space 
”
​
𝑆
×
𝑌
𝑋
​
”
 together with a map of adic spaces 
𝑝
1
:
”
​
𝑆
×
𝑌
𝑋
​
”
→
𝑆
 and a map of locally ringed spaces 
𝑝
2
:
(
”
​
𝑆
×
𝑌
𝑋
​
”
)
𝐻
→
𝑋
 with the following universal property. If 
𝑇
 is an adic space, 
𝜋
1
:
𝑇
→
𝑆
 is a map of adic spaces and 
𝜋
2
:
𝑇
𝐻
→
𝑋
 is a map of locally ringed spaces such that 
𝑓
∘
𝜋
1
=
𝑔
∘
𝜋
2
𝐻
, then there is a unique map 
𝜋
:
𝑇
→
”
​
𝑆
×
𝑌
𝑋
​
”
 such that 
𝑝
1
∘
𝜋
=
𝜋
1
 and 
𝑝
2
∘
𝜋
𝐻
=
𝜋
2
. Letting 
𝑌
=
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
)
 and 
𝑆
=
Spa
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
)
 we define 
𝑋
ad
 as 
(
”
​
𝑆
×
𝑌
𝑋
​
”
)
. Then, 
𝑋
♢
=
(
𝑋
ad
)
♢
. Moreover, if 
𝑋
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
 and 
𝑋
𝑓
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
​
[
1
𝑓
]
)
 for 
𝑓
∈
𝐴
 we can see from the universal property that 
𝑋
𝑓
ad
 is the open locus of 
𝑋
ad
 where 
𝑓
≠
0
.

Proposition 5.3.

If 
𝑋
→
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
)
 is a proper map of schemes, then the natural map 
𝑋
⋄
→
𝑋
♢
 is an isomorphism.

Proof.

It follows directly from [12, Remark 4.6.(iv).d].∎

Proposition 5.4.

If 
𝑋
 and 
𝑌
 are qcqs finite type schemes over 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
)
 and that 
𝑋
→
𝑌
 is universally subtrusive as in 3.4, then 
𝑋
♢
→
𝑌
♢
 and 
𝑋
⋄
→
𝑌
⋄
 are surjective.

Proof.

Replacing 
𝑌
 by an open cover we may assume 
𝑌
=
Spec
​
(
𝐴
)
. By [16, Theorem 3.12] we may assume that 
𝑋
→
𝑌
 factors as 
𝑋
→
𝑌
′
→
𝑌
 with 
𝑌
′
→
𝑌
 a proper surjection and 
𝑋
→
𝑌
′
 a quasicompact open cover. Open covers give surjective maps so we can reduce to the proper case. By Chow’s lemma [21, Tag 0200], we may assume 
𝑌
′

Proposition 5.5.

Let 
𝑋
 be locally of finite type over 
𝑊
​
(

 with special fiber 
𝑋
𝑠
. Then 
(

red
.

Proof.

Both identifications follow from 3.18. By the construction of 
𝑋
𝑝
 as a 
𝑝
-adic completion in the case of 
𝑋
⋄
, and by the universal property of 
𝑋
ad
 in the case of

. ∎

For the rest of the section let 
𝐶
 be an algebraically closed nonarchimedean field over

 a generator for the kernel of

Here the base change of

Proposition 5.8.

If 
ℋ
 is smooth over 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(

​
[

)
 the reduction maps are surjective.

Proof.

We claim that the map is surjective even at the level of presheaves. The 
(
𝑅
,
𝑅
+
)
-valued points of 
(
ℋ
¯
)
♢
 and 
(
ℋ

)

 can be seen as maps 
Spec
​
(
𝑅

ℋ
𝐵
dR

​
(
𝑅

 and 
Spec
​

ℋ
𝑊
​
(

 whose composition with the projections to 
Spec
​

​
(
𝑅

)
)
 and 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑅

)
 are the usual closed embeddings. By smoothness of 
ℋ
, for any 
𝑛
∈
ℕ
 the maps can be lifted to maps 
Spec
​
(
𝐵

​
(
𝑅

/
𝜉
𝑛
)

​
(
𝑅

)
/
𝜉
𝑛
)
→
ℋ
𝑊
​
(
𝑅

 respectively. Since 
ℋ
 is an affine scheme and since both 
𝐵

​
(
𝑅
♯
)
 and 
𝑊
​
(
𝑅

 are 
(
𝜉

-adically complete we may pass to the inverse limit by choosing compatible lifts. ∎

Definition 5.9.

We define scheme-theoretic v-sheaves 
𝒲

Here the base change of 
ℋ
 is given by the map to 
𝔸
𝑊
​
(

 defined by 
𝑡

Remark 5.10.

These v-sheaves are Zhu’s 
𝑝
-adic jet spaces in [22, §1.1.1].

Proposition 5.11.

With the notation as above, 
𝑊

​
ℋ
 is a 
𝑝
-adic kimberlite and 
(
𝑊

​
ℋ

red

Proof.

𝑊

​
(

 is represented by 
Spd
​
(
𝑂

⟨
𝑇

𝑊

​
(

 is a

red

. If 
ℋ

​
(

 is presented as 
𝐴

​
(

​
[

(

…
,
𝑓
𝑚
​
(

)
. Then 
𝑊

​
ℋ
 fits in the commutative diagram with Cartesian square:

. All of these maps are formally adic, and 
Spd
​
(

𝑊

​
(

𝑚
 is formally closed. By 4.41 
𝑊

​
ℋ

Spec

 to compute reductions. ∎

5.2.Demazure resolution

We assume the reader has some familiarity with Bruhat–Tits theory and parahoric group schemes [6]. We use twisted loop sheaves to consider integrally defined Demazure resolutions. Our main observation is that the Demazure resolution can be constructed using either parahoric loop groups or what we call below “formal parahoric loop” groups. The difference is whether one uses 
𝐵
dR
 or 
𝐴
inf
 coefficients. We keep the notation as above.

(1) 

Let 
𝐻
 be a split 
𝑊
​
(

 maximal split torus and Borel subgroups.

(2) 

Let

.

We let 
⟨

 denote the perfect pairing between roots and coroots.

Let

Let 
𝑁
 be the normalizer of 
𝑇

(6) 

Let

 be the Weyl group of

(7) 

We let

We let

Given a point

 this is a closed sub-root system.

Let

If

 we associate 
𝐹

Ψ

(12) 

We let 
𝑜

 be the origin and 
𝑜

𝒞
 be the alcove contained in the Bruhat chamber of 
𝐵
.

(13) 

Let 
𝕊
 be the reflections along the walls of 
𝒞
, we let 
𝑊
aff
 the affine Weyl group generated by 
𝕊
.

(14) 

For facets 
ℱ
⊆
𝒞
 let 
𝕊
ℱ
 be elements of 
𝕊
 fixing 
ℱ
 and let 
𝑊
ℱ
 be the subgroup generated by 
𝕊
ℱ
.

(15) 

Let 
𝑊
~
 be the Iwahori–Weyl. Recall that if

​

The kernel of

 is fiberwise a vector group.

Definition 5.12.

Let 
𝑞
∈
𝒜
. Since 
ℋ
𝑞
 and 
𝐻
 are defined over 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
​
[
𝑡
]
)
 and 
Spec
​
(
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
)
​
[
𝑡
,
𝑡
−
1
]
)
 we can use the construction of 5.7. We call 
𝐿
​
𝐻
 the loop group, we call 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
 the parahoric loop group and we call 
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
 the “formal parahoric loop group”.

Notice that we have injective maps of v-sheaves 
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
⊆
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
​
⊆
𝜌
​
𝐿
​
𝐻
.

Proposition 5.13.

With the notation as above, for any point 
𝑞
∈
𝒜
 we have surjective morphisms of v-sheaves in groups: 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
→
[
(
ℋ
¯
)
𝑞
Red
]
♢
=
𝑀
𝑞
♢
 and 
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
→
[
(
ℋ
¯
𝑞
)
Red
]
⋄
=
𝑀
𝑞
⋄
.

Proof.

This is a direct consequence of 5.8 and 5.4 since 
ℋ
¯
→
ℋ
¯
Red
 is smooth. ∎

We let 
𝐿
𝑢
​
ℋ
𝑞
 and 
𝑊
𝑢
​
ℋ
𝑞
 denote respectively the kernels of the morphisms of 5.13 above.

Proposition 5.14.

If 
𝑞
1
,
𝑞
2
∈
𝒜
 are such that 
𝐹
𝑞
1
⊆
𝐹
𝑞
2
, then we get inclusions of v-sheaves in groups: 
𝐿
𝑢
​
ℋ
𝑞

⊆
𝐿
𝑢
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
⊆
𝐿

​
ℋ

⊆

​
ℋ

 and 
𝑊

​
ℋ

ℋ
𝑞
2
⊆
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑞

⊆
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
1
 Moreover, the map from 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
 to 
𝑀
𝑞
1
♢
 surjects onto 
𝑃
Φ
𝑞
1
,
𝑞
2
♢
⊆
𝑀
𝑞

♢
. Analogously, 
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
 surjects onto 
𝑃
Φ
𝑞
1
,
𝑞
2
⋄
⊆
𝑀
𝑞
1
⋄
.

Proof.

We deal with the parahoric loop group case, the other is analogous. Recall that 
𝑓
:
ℋ
𝑞
2
→
ℋ
𝑞
1
 satisfies 
𝜌
1
∘
𝑓
=
𝜌
2
. Functoriality of 
𝐿
+
, gives 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
→
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
1
→
𝐿
​
𝐻
. Since 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
→
𝐿
​
𝐻
 is injective, then 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
→
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
1
 also is. The map of affine schemes 
ℋ
¯
𝑞
2
→
𝑃
Φ
𝑞
1
,
𝑞
2
 is faithfully flat of finite presentation. By 5.8 and 5.4, the map 
𝐿
+
​
ℋ
𝑞
2
→
(
ℋ
¯
𝑞
2
)
♢
→
𝑃
Φ
𝑞
1
,
𝑞
2
♢
 is surjective. Finally, any map 
𝑔
:
Spec
​
(
𝐵
dR
+
​
(
𝑅
♯
)
)
→
ℋ
𝑞
1

𝐵
dR

​
(
𝑅

 whose induced map 
Spec
​
(
𝑅

𝑀

 factors through the identity lifts to a map 
Spec
​
(
𝐵
dR

​
(
𝑅

)
)
→
ℋ
𝑞
2
,
𝐵
dR

​
(
𝑅

)
. Indeed, 
Spec
​
(
𝑅
♯
)
→
ℋ
¯
𝑞
1
 is in the open cell 
𝒱
¯
𝑞
1
, so 
𝑔
 has the form 
𝑔
=
(
∏

{
𝑢

​
(

}
𝛼
∈
Φ
𝑞
1
 reducing to the identity modulo 
𝜉
. By inspection, each of this elements lifts uniquely to 
𝒱
𝑞
2
. For

 and

Φ

Φ
𝑞

∪
Φ
𝑞

𝑞

, 
𝑓
 is an isomorphism. For 
𝛼
∈
Φ
𝑞

Φ

𝑞

 we may, after making some choices, write 
𝒰
𝛼
𝑞

 as 
Spec
​
(
𝑊

(

​
[

​
[

 if

 divides the image of

 reduces to identity. ∎

Lemma 5.16.

Fix

 be a locally spatial diamond with a map

 be an affinoid perfectoid with a map

Proof.

We may reduce the first claim to the second one by [18, Proposition 11.24]. Indeed, by 5.15 the map is a 
𝐿

​
ℋ

𝔬
​
𝔟

 after analytic localization. Consider the sequences of maps:

𝑀

​
(
Spa
​

𝐿

 for all

𝐿

1
=
lim
←
⁡
𝐿
𝑢

1
/
𝐿

,
𝑛
 and the transition maps are surjective at the level of presheaves we conclude that

𝐿

For the right group, we may use [18, Proposition 8.8]again since 
Ker

We can now consider families of Demazure varieties, see [8, Definition VI.5.6].

 we associate a v-sheaf given by the contracted group product:

Proposition 5.18.

The map of v-sheaves

 is representable in spatial diamonds, proper and

Proof.

Let

(

 given by forgetting the last entry corresponding to

𝑔

.

Finally, by 5.11 each 
𝑊

​
ℋ
𝑟

 is formalizing, 4.10 implies the same for the product, and since 
𝐷
​
(

 is the quotient of a v-formalizing sheaf it is also v-formalizing. ∎

Proposition 5.20.

The map 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐶
)
 is formally adic. Moreover, 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
red
 is represented by a qcqs scheme that is perfectly finitely presented and proper over 
Spec
​
(
𝑘
𝐶
)
 [5, Proposition 3.11, Definition 3.14].

Proof.

In any Grothendieck topos, pullback commutes with finite limits and colimits. 5.11 gives: 
𝐷
​
(

/
(

. Now, this is

 since

𝐷
​
(

 is formally adic and that

 are well known, see [22], [5]. ∎

Proposition 5.21.

(

×
Spd
​
(

Spa
​
(

 has enough facets over 
𝐶

Proof.

We prove this by induction. Let 
𝜎
=
(
{
𝑟

}
1
≤
𝑖
≤
𝑛
,
{
𝑞

,
{

. Suppose that

​
(

 has enough facets, let

 and let 
𝑓
:
𝑆

(

𝐶
 be a cover as in 4.50. Let 
ℱ
=
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
𝐶
×
𝐷
​
(
𝜎

)
𝐶
𝑆
, we prove that 
ℱ
 has a enough facets. By 5.16, 
ℱ
→
𝑆
 is analytically locally a trivial 
(
Fl

𝑞

𝐶

♢
-fibration. We may conclude by 4.51. ∎

Proposition 5.22.

For any 
𝜎
 as in 5.17, 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
 is a topologically normal rich 
𝑝
-adic kimberlite.

Proof.

By 5.19, 3.29 and 5.20 it is a 
𝑝
-adic prekimberlite, and by 5.18 together with 4.32 it is a valuative kimberlite whose analytic locus is qcqs. Since 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
red
 is a proper perfectly finitely presented scheme over 
𝑘
𝐶
, 
|
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
red
|
 is Noetherian. Also, 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎

an
 coincides with 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
×
Spd
​
(
𝑂

Spa
​
(
𝐶

𝑂

 and by 5.21 and this is a qcqs cJ-diamond. By 5.23, we may check surjectivity of 
sp
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
an
 on closed points. At this point, it suffices to prove that if 
𝑥
∈
|
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
red
|
 is a closed point, then 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
/
𝑥
⊚
 is non-empty and connected. This follows inductively from 5.24. Indeed, Item 2 holds by induction over the maps 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
→
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
′
)
 and Item 1 follows from the diagram 10 since each of the 
𝑊
+
​
ℋ
𝑟

 is formalizing and basechanges along maps that factor through 
𝑊

​
ℋ

 will give a trivial bundle. ∎

Lemma 5.23.

Let 
𝐶
 be a characteristic zero nonarchimedean algebraically closed field, and let 
𝑘
=
𝑂
𝐶
/
𝔪
𝐶
. Let 
(
ℱ
,
ℱ

 be a smelted kimberlite over 
Spd

(

Spd
​
(

 ranging over algebraically closed nonarchimedean field extension 
𝐶

 the tubular neighborhood 
(

 is non-empty. Then 
sp
ℱ
𝜂
 is a surjection.

Proof.

Given a point in 
𝑥

ℱ

 we can find a field extension of perfect fields 
𝐾
/
𝑘
 for which 
ℱ
red

 mapping to 
𝑥
 under 
ℱ
red

Spec

ℱ
red
. Since 
ℱ
 is formally separated, 
ℱ
red
×
𝑘
Spec
​
(
𝐾

 is also separated and sections to the structure map define closed points. We can construct a nonarchimedean field 
𝐶

 with 
𝐶

 and 
𝑊
​
(

​
[

⊆
𝑊
​
(

​
[

ℱ

ℱ

 there is a closed point

 maps to a point whose image under the specialization map is

Lemma 5.24.

Let

𝒢
 be a proper, 
ℓ
-cohomologically smooth map of 
𝑝

Spd
​
(

. Suppose 
𝒢
red
 and 
ℱ

 are perfectly finitely presented over 
Spec
​
(

 [5, Definition 3.10]. Let 
𝑋

Spec
​
(
𝑂

 be a smooth projective scheme and suppose that 
𝑓
 is 
𝑋

(1) 

For any nonarchimedean field 
𝐶

 extension 
𝐶
 and a map 
𝑡
:
Spd
​
(
𝐶

𝑂

 there is an extension 
𝐶

 such that 
ℱ

​
(

(2) 

For any closed point 
𝑥
∈
|
𝒢
red
|
 the tubular neighborhood 
𝒢
/
𝑥
⊚
 is non-empty and connected.

Then, for any closed point 
𝑦
∈
|
ℱ
red
|
 the tubular neighborhood 
ℱ
/
𝑦

 is also non-empty and connected.

Proof.

Take a closed point 
𝑦
∈

ℱ
red

 with 
𝑥
=
𝑓
​
(
𝑦

 and consider the map 
𝑓

 the base change

×
𝒢
/
𝑥
⊚
Spa
​
(
𝐶

|
ℱ
/
𝑦
⊚
|
→
|
𝒢
/
𝑥
⊚
|
 is specializing, and by assumption surjective on rank 
1
 points. Let 
𝑈
 and 
𝑉
 non-empty open and closed subsets with 
𝑈
∪
𝑉
=
|
ℱ
/
𝑦
⊚
|
. Since 
𝑓
 is open and closed [18, Proposition 23.11], 
𝑓
​
(
𝑈
)
∪
𝑓
​
(
𝑉
)
=

𝒢

𝑥

 and 
𝑓
​
(
𝑈

 and 
𝑓
​
(
𝑉

 meet at a rank 
1
 point.

Let us prove our assumption holds, take a map 
𝑡
:
Spa
​
(

. After, replacing 
Spa
​
(

,
𝑂
𝐶

)
 by a v-cover we can assume 
𝒢
 formalizes 
𝑡
 and that 
𝑡
 has the base change property of Item 1. We get a pair of Cartesian diagrams, the right being obtained by taking the reduction of the left:

We keep the notation from the beginning of the previous subsection and we restrict our attention to parahoric loop groups associated to points contained in our chosen alcove 
𝒞

 the parahoric loop group associated to the wall

Lemma 5.25.

Let 
𝜎
=
(
𝜎
𝑟
,
𝜎
𝑞
)
 with 
𝜎
 as in the previous subsection except that we require 
𝜎
𝑟
,

. Suppose that

​
ℋ
𝑞
𝑛
=

​
ℋ

𝑛
=

​

 then the multiplication map

:

𝜎
)
→
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
=
𝐿
​
𝐻
/
𝐿
+
​
𝐻
 has geometrically connected fibers.

Proof.

The proof is combinatorial and follows the classical case. The key geometric inputs are as follows, the basechange of 
𝐷
​
(
𝜎
)
→
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐶
)
 by geometric points are proper spatial diamonds, rank 
1
 points are always dense for any spatial diamond and the group of rank 
1
 geometric points of a parahoric loop group coincide with the “parabolic subgroups” of a Tits-systems (or 
𝐵
​
𝑁
-pair). These two observations together with [18, Lemma 12.11] reduces the proof to the classical combinatorial case. We omit the details. ∎

We can now prove 5.1.

Proof (of 5.1).

Observe that 
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
→
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐹
)
 is formally adic. Indeed, 
Gr

𝐺
,
≤
𝜇

Spd
​

Spec
​
(

⋄
 is 
(
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
)
♢
 and since 
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 is proper this is 
(
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
)
⋄
 we may conclude by 3.32. This gives that 
(
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
)
red
=
Gr
𝒲
,
𝑘
𝐹
𝐺
,

𝜇
, which is represented by a scheme [5, Theorem 8.3], that the adjunction map 
(
(

)
⋄
→
Gr
𝑂
𝐹

 is a closed immersion and that 
(

)
an

,

×
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐹
)
Spd
​
(
𝐹
)
, which is represented by a spatial diamond by [20, Proposition 20.4.5]. Also, 
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 is separated by [20, Proposition 20.5.4], and by 3.29 it is formally separated. To prove that 
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 is a 
𝑝
-adic kimberlite we need to prove it is v-formalizing. To prove that it is rich it suffices to prove 
Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
×
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐹
)
Spd
​
(
𝐹
)
 has enough facets and that the tubular neighborhoods at closed points are non-empty. These can be checked after basechange to 
Spd
​
(
𝑂
𝐶
)
 for 
𝐶
/
𝐹
 a completed algebraic closure.

Suppose for now that 
𝐹
=
𝐶
. In this case 
𝐺
×
ℤ
𝑝
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
𝐹
)
 is a split reductive group, and since 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐺
,
≤
𝜇
 only depends on 
𝐺
𝑊
​
(
𝑘
𝐹
)
, we may assume 
𝐺
=
𝐻
 with 
𝐻
 split reductive. Furthermore, using the discussion of the beginning of the section one can reduce to the case in which 
𝐻
 is semisimple and simply connected. In this case 
𝑊
~
=
𝑊
aff
. Recall that we have inclusions 
𝑋
∗
+
​
(
𝑇
)
⊆
𝑋
∗
​
(
𝑇
)
⊆
𝑊
~
 so we may think of 
𝜇
 as an element of the Iwahori–Weyl group. By definition, 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
,
≤
𝜇
​
(
𝑅

𝑅

 consists of those elements in 
Gr

 satisfying that for any geometric point

​
(

)
→
Spa
​
(
𝑅
,
𝑅

)
 the type of 
𝑞
, 
𝜇
𝑞
, is in the double coset 
𝐻
​
(

𝑜
\

𝑊
𝑜
 satisfies 
𝜇
𝑞

 in the Bruhat order. Now, given 
𝑤
∈
𝑊
~
 we can consider the subsheaf 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐺
,
≤
𝑤
⊆
Gr
𝑂

𝐺
 with the similar property on a geometric point using instead the double coset

(

​
(

=
𝑊
aff
/
𝑊
𝑜
. The projection map 
𝜋
:
𝑊

𝑊
𝑜
\
𝑊
aff
/
𝑊
𝑜
 is order preserving and 
𝜋
−
1
​
(
𝜇
)
 has a unique element 
[
𝑤
𝜇
]
 of largest length, it has the property that 
𝑣
≤
𝑤
𝜇
 if and only if 
𝜋
​
(
𝑣
)
≤
𝜇
. In particular, we have an equality of sheaves 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
,
≤
𝑤
𝜇
=
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
,
≤
𝜇
. We prove that for 
𝑤
∈
𝑊
aff
 the v-sheaf 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
,
≤
𝑤
 satisfies the conclusions of the theorem.

Find a reduced expression for

 factors through 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
,
≤
𝑤
 and surjects onto it. This implies 
Gr
𝑂
𝐶
𝐻
 is a kimberlite. 4.32, 4.46 and 4.40 imply it is rich. 5.22 and 5.25 combined with 5.26 allow us to conclude in this case.

Finally, let us deal with the case 
𝐹
≠
𝐶
. Let 
𝐹
′
 the completed maximal unramified subextension of 
𝐹
 in 
𝐶
. We have surjective maps of v-sheaves:

𝑂
𝐹

𝐺

Gr
𝑂
𝐹
𝐺
,
≤

 and 
Gr
𝑂

𝐺
,

 are rich kimberlites. By 4.20, 
Gr
𝑂

𝐺

 has connected tubular neighborhoods since

Lemma 5.26.

Let 
𝑓

 be a surjective map of rich 
𝑝

Spd
​
(

𝒢

ℱ
red
 are perfectly of finite type over 
Spec
​
(

. Suppose 
𝑓
red
 has geometrically connected fibers and that 
ℱ
 is topologically normal. Then 
𝒢
 is topologically normal.

Proof.

Pick a closed point 
𝑥

𝒢
red

, by 4.20 
𝒢

𝒢
ℱ

ℱ

 is connected. Since

𝒢

𝑥
⊚
 is also connected. ∎
