Laurent covers of the adic spectrum #
The covering geometry of Wedhorn, Adic Spaces (arXiv:1910.05934v1), Lemma 8.34(ii) and (iii).
For a family f₁, …, f_r of elements of A, the Laurent cover of Spa (A, A⁺) generated by
the family consists of the pieces
X(f₁^{ε₁}, …, f_r^{ε_r}) = {v | v(fᵢ) ≤ 1 if εᵢ = 1, v(fᵢ) ≥ 1 if εᵢ = -1},
one for each choice of signs. Here the signs are recorded by the set J of indices with
εᵢ = -1, and the piece is laurentPiece Aplus f J. The pieces are rational subsets
(val_preimage_laurentPiece_mem_spaRationalFamily), and they cover Spa (A, A⁺), each point lying
in the piece of its own signs (mem_laurentPiece_setOf_vle).
Wedhorn's Lemma 8.34 reduces Čech acyclicity of an arbitrary finite rational cover to Laurent
covers, and the reduction rests on two refinement statements about the standard rational cover
(R(T/t))_{t ∈ T} of a finite set T generating the unit ideal. This file proves both, at the
level of subsets of Spa (A, A⁺).
- Part (ii). Over a Tate ring there is a unit
ϖofAwhich is strictly dominated at every point by some element ofT(exists_unit_forall_mem_spa_exists_vlt; for a single element this is Corollary 7.32). On a pieceVof the Laurent cover generated by theϖ⁻¹ t, the cover(R(T/t) ∩ V)_{t ∈ T}is generated by the elementstwhose sign onVis≥: these vanish nowhere onV(not_vle_zero_of_mem_laurentPiece_inv_mul), the pieceR(T/t) ∩ Vis cut out ofVby comparison with them alone whentis one of them (mem_rationalSubset_iff_of_mem_laurentPiece_inv_mul), and it is empty otherwise (rationalSubset_inter_laurentPiece_inv_mul_eq_empty). - Part (iii). If every element of
Tis a unit, the Laurent cover generated by the ratiost t'⁻¹refines(R(T/t))_{t ∈ T}: every piece lies in someR(T/t)(exists_rationalSubset_superset_laurentPiece_mul_inverse). A piece fixes the sign of every ratio, so it totally preordersTbyt' ≤ tthroughout the piece, and a greatest element of this preorder is thetsought.
What part (ii) calls units are units of the coordinate ring 𝒪_X(V). Here they appear only in
pointwise form, as elements vanishing at no point of V; their invertibility in 𝒪_X(V) is not
proved here. Nor is the algebraic half of Lemma 8.34, Čech acyclicity of Laurent covers and its
transfer along refinements. The two-piece Laurent cover {|f| ≤ 1}, {|f| ≥ 1}, with its
coordinate rings, is treated in
TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.AdicSpace.Spa.Localization.LaurentCover.Basic.

projects/AdicSpaces/Adic spaces/WedhornCechAcyclicity.lean, states parts (ii) and (iii) for its
bundled rational covering data, with the Laurent cover built as an iterated list of two-piece
splits (laurentProdLeaves) and Corollary 7.32 for a finite family (cor_7_32_dominating_unit)
carrying strong-noetherian and completeness hypotheses. Here the pieces are indexed by sign sets,
and the dominating unit uses only the Tate property.
Laurent covers #
A piece of the Laurent cover generated by the family f: the points of Spa (A, A⁺) with
v(fᵢ) ≥ 1 for i ∈ J and v(fᵢ) ≤ 1 for i ∉ J. This is Wedhorn's X(f₁^{ε₁}, …, f_r^{ε_r})
with J the set of indices of sign εᵢ = -1.
As with rationalSubset, nothing is assumed of A, A⁺ or the family; the pieces are rational
subsets when the family is finite and A is a Huber ring
(val_preimage_laurentPiece_mem_spaRationalFamily).

Membership in a piece of a Laurent cover.
Every piece of a Laurent cover is contained in the adic spectrum.
A point lies in the piece of its own signs: the one whose sign set consists of the
indices i with v(fᵢ) ≥ 1.
The pieces of a Laurent cover cover the adic spectrum.
A piece of a Laurent cover is an intersection of rational subsets: of R({1}/fᵢ) for
i ∈ J and of R({fᵢ, 1}/1) for i ∉ J. The numerator 1 makes both numerator ideals the unit
ideal, and costs nothing: v(1) ≤ v(1) always, and v(1) ≤ v(fᵢ) already forces v(fᵢ) ≠ 0.
The pieces of a Laurent cover generated by a finite family are rational subsets of the adic spectrum of a Huber ring.
Part (ii): restricting a standard cover to a Laurent cover #
The generators of the ≥ side vanish nowhere on the piece (Wedhorn Lemma 8.34(ii)). On a
piece V of the Laurent cover generated by the elements ϖ⁻¹ t, t ∈ T, every t of sign ≥
satisfies v(t) ≥ v(ϖ) ≠ 0. These are the elements that generate the restricted cover
(R(T/t) ∩ V)_{t ∈ T} (mem_rationalSubset_iff_of_mem_laurentPiece_inv_mul), and this is the
pointwise form of Wedhorn's assertion that they are units of 𝒪_X(V).
Off the ≥ side, the restricted piece is empty (Wedhorn Lemma 8.34(ii)). Let ϖ be a unit
strictly dominated at every point of Spa (A, A⁺) by an element of T, as
exists_unit_forall_mem_spa_exists_vlt provides. On a piece V of the Laurent cover generated by
the ϖ⁻¹ t, if t has sign ≤ then R(T/t) does not meet V: at a point of R(T/t) the value
of t is the largest on T, hence above v(ϖ), whereas on V it is at most v(ϖ).
On the ≥ side, the restricted piece is cut out by the ≥ generators (Wedhorn Lemma
8.34(ii)). On a piece V of the Laurent cover generated by the ϖ⁻¹ t, for t of sign ≥, a
point of V lies in R(T/t) exactly when t dominates every element of T of sign ≥: the
elements of sign ≤ are at most v(ϖ) ≤ v(t) on V anyway, and t vanishes nowhere on V by
not_vle_zero_of_mem_laurentPiece_inv_mul. So the restriction of the standard cover
(R(T/t))_{t ∈ T} to V is the standard cover of V generated by the elements of sign ≥.
Part (iii): refining a standard cover generated by units #
The Laurent cover of ratios refines a standard cover generated by units (Wedhorn Lemma
8.34(iii)). Let T be a nonempty finite set of units of A. Every piece of the Laurent cover
generated by the ratios t t'⁻¹, (t, t') ∈ T × T, lies in R(T/t) for some t ∈ T; since the
pieces cover Spa (A, A⁺) (spa_eq_iUnion_laurentPiece), this Laurent cover refines the standard
rational cover (R(T/t))_{t ∈ T}.
The resulting refinement of the standard rational cover is the unit-generated case of part (iii).
