Topological exactness of the Laurent cover #
For a complete Hausdorff strongly noetherian Tate ring A, the augmented sequence for the
Laurent cover |f| ≤ 1, |f| ≥ 1 is strictly exact. The augmentation is a closed embedding,
so the topology on A agrees with the equalizer topology inherited from the product of the
two coordinate rings. The difference of restrictions is an open quotient map onto the
coordinate ring of the overlap.
These are the topological statements needed to interpret Laurent-cover gluing in topological
rings. Algebraic exactness is supplied by laurentCover_exact; the open mapping theorem over
a Tate ring supplies strictness. The T0Space assumption implies Hausdorffness for these
uniform additive groups.

The augmentation for a Laurent cover is a closed embedding. In particular, the topology
on A is the subspace topology on the equalizer of the two restrictions to the overlap.
The difference of the two restrictions in a Laurent cover is an open quotient map. Thus the topology on the overlap ring agrees with the quotient topology from the product of the two coordinate rings.
