Examples of adic spaces

Abstract

This chapter discusses various examples of adic spaces. These examples include the adic closed unit disc; the adic affine line; the closure of the adic closed unit disc in the adic affine line; the open unit disc; the punctured open unit disc; and the constant adic space associated to a profinite set. The chapter focuses on one example: the adic open unit disc over Zp. The adic spectrum Spa Zp consists of two points, a special point and a generic point. The chapter then studies the structure of analytic points. It also clarifies the relations between analytic rings and Tate rings.
