Tate's acyclicity theorem for the standard Laurent cover of the closed unit disc #
Let K be a complete nonarchimedean field. The coordinate ring K⟨T₁, …, Tₖ⟩ of the closed unit
polydisc is a strongly noetherian Tate ring (Bosch–Güntzer–Remmert §5.2.6), so the augmented Čech
complex of its structure presheaf, as a presheaf of abelian groups, is exact in every degree for
every Laurent cover of a rational subset (quasiIso_cechAugmentation_laurentFamily, Wedhorn's
Lemma 8.34(i)). The first example below records that this applies to the polydisc with no
further hypotheses.
On the closed unit disc Spa(K⟨T⟩, K⟨T⟩°), the standard example is the Laurent cover generated by
c⁻¹ (T - a) for a, c ∈ K with c ≠ 0. Its two pieces are the closed subdisc of radius |c|
about a (TauCeti.ValuationSpectrum.closedSubdisc a c) and the region where T stays at
distance at least |c| from a:
R({T - a, c} / c) = {|T - a| ≤ |c|}, R({c} / (T - a)) = {|T - a| ≥ |c|}.
This file proves that the cover of the closed unit disc by these two rational subsets is acyclic
for the structure presheaf, which is Tate's acyclicity theorem for this cover. Over K = ℚ_[p]
with a = 0 and c = p it is the cover of the closed p-adic unit disc by {|T| ≤ |p|} and
{|T| ≥ |p|}, recorded in the second example.

Tate's acyclicity theorem for the standard Laurent cover of the closed unit disc. Let K
be a complete nonarchimedean field and a, c ∈ K with c ≠ 0. The closed unit disc
Spa(K⟨T⟩, K⟨T⟩°) is covered by the closed subdisc R({T - a, c} / c) = {|T - a| ≤ |c|} and by
R({c} / (T - a)) = {|T - a| ≥ |c|}, the Laurent cover generated by c⁻¹ (T - a). The augmented
Čech complex of the structure presheaf, as a presheaf of abelian groups, for this cover is exact
in every degree.
