Complements on adic spaces

Abstract

This chapter analyzes a collection of complements in the theory of adic spaces. These complements include adic morphisms, analytic adic spaces, and Cartier divisors. It turns out that there is a very general criterion for sheafyness. In general, uniformity does not guarantee sheafyness, but a strengthening of the uniformity condition does. Moreover, sheafyness, without any extra assumptions, implies other good properties. Ultimately, it is not immediately clear how to get a good theory of coherent sheaves on adic spaces. The chapter then considers Cartier divisors on adic spaces. The term closed Cartier divisor is meant to evoke a closed immersion of adic spaces.
