Flatness of the Laurent quotient, and of rational restriction maps #
Restriction maps between rational localisations are flat, at the ring level. For a fixed denominator the statements below run in increasing generality:
- the Laurent quotient
A⟨T/s⟩⟨X⟩ ⧸ (t/s - X)is a flatA⟨T/s⟩-module when that base is a complete noetherian Tate ring; - Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30, elementary case: the restriction map
A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T'/s⟩is flat whenT'isTwith one numeratortadjoined. It asks the hypotheses above ofA⟨T/s⟩, together with closedness of the Laurent relation ideal, only whent ∉ T; - the restriction map of an arbitrary enlargement
T ⊆ T'is flat, assumingstopologically nilpotent andA⟨U/s⟩strongly noetherian for everyUwithT ⊆ U ⊂ T'. On its own this is not Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30, which assumes strong noetherianity of the base alone; see The three chain results, and which to use; - the same conclusion asking strong noetherianity only at
T, the per-intermediate hypothesis being derived rather than assumed; - the same conclusion asking strong noetherianity of
Aalone, for a presentation whose numerators generate the unit ideal together withs— Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 for a numerator enlargement.
Two further cases of Proposition 8.30 change the denominator. The structure map A → A⟨T/s⟩ of
any presentation over a complete separated strongly noetherian Tate ring is flat, which is the case
where the larger rational subset is all of Spa A. And over a strongly noetherian Tate ring the
restriction map A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T''/s''⟩ of any refinement — s'' = s * r, with each t * r a
numerator of T'' — is flat when T together with s generates the unit ideal. By Remark 8.4 it
is a structure map over A⟨T/s⟩, to which the previous case applies.
Changing the localisation that carries a presentation is flat with no hypotheses at all.
Each ..._of_isStronglyNoetherian variant states the analytic hypotheses in the form they are met
in: s topologically nilpotent over a strongly noetherian base.

That family hypothesis is what separates this from Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30, which assumes it ofAalone; see The three chain results, and which to use.TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_isStronglyNoetherian_base: the same conclusion asking strong noetherianity only atT, the family hypothesis above being derived from it rather than assumed.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_span_eq_top: Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 for a numerator enlargement.

After rescaling by a unit,1can be adjoined as a numerator without changingA⟨T/s⟩; the denominator change then goes throughA⟨X⟩ ⧸ (1 - f X) ≃ A⟨{1}/f⟩(TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.rationalQuotientRingEquivat the single numerator1) and Lemma 8.31(2), and the other numerators are adjoined by Proposition 8.30.TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHom_of_isStronglyNoetherian_base: the same statement asking the Tate condition and strong noetherianity ofA⟨T/s⟩rather than ofA, and no unit-ideal condition. It is the general form; the next item is its corollary.TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHom: Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 for a refinement, whose denominator may change — the restriction mapA⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T''/s''⟩is flat over a strongly noetherian Tate ring whenTtogether withsgenerates the unit ideal. It is the structure map of a rational localisation ofA⟨T/s⟩(TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.iteratedLocalizationRingEquiv), so the previous item applies overA⟨T/s⟩.
The three chain results, and which to use #
Where strong noetherianity is assumed is the primary distinction, and each is the right one for a
different caller. It is not the only one: the third asks the Tate condition, strong noetherianity,
and the unit-ideal condition on (T, s) — all three only of a proper enlargement, as explicit
hypotheses rather than instances. Its one unconditional assumption is [IsHuberRing A].
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_forall_isStronglyNoetherian
asks it of A⟨U/s⟩ for every U with T ⊆ U ⊂ T' — a family of hypotheses, carried rather
than derived, and the theorem is named for what it assumes. It is the one to use when strong
noetherianity is known only at the intermediate presentations.
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_isStronglyNoetherian_base
asks it only at T, deriving the rest by
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.isStronglyNoetherian_completion_of_subset. It is the one to use
when the localisation is known to be strongly noetherian but A is not, or when (T, s) is not
known to cut out a rational subset.
PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_span_eq_top asks it of A, which is
Wedhorn's own hypothesis. It costs three explicit hypotheses, each asked only when T ⊂ T':
IsTateRing A, IsStronglyNoetherian A, and the unit-ideal condition on (T, s). All three are
free in the intended use — restriction between rational subsets of Spa(A, A⁺) of a strongly
noetherian Tate ring — where the first two hold by hypothesis and the third follows from
rationality, since an open ideal of a Tate ring is ⊤
(TauCeti.Huber.IsTateRing.isOpen_iff_eq_top). A caller there passes
fun _ ↦ inferInstance for the first two.
Only [IsHuberRing A] remains an instance binder, because stating IsStronglyNoetherian A needs
the nonarchimedean structure it carries.
The elementary case is unaffected: it needs strong noetherianity only at its own base, which is where Lemma 8.31 needs it too.
The refinement results are the same distinction one layer up.
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHom_of_isStronglyNoetherian_base asks the Tate
condition and strong noetherianity of A⟨T/s⟩, and nothing of A or of (T, s);
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHom asks it of A together with the
unit-ideal condition, and derives the other by
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.isStronglyNoetherian_completion. Use the first when only the
localisation is known to be strongly noetherian, the second for Wedhorn's own hypotheses.

The Laurent quotient is flat over A⟨T/s⟩: A⟨T/s⟩⟨X⟩ ⧸ (t/s - X) is a flat
A⟨T/s⟩-module.
This is Wedhorn's Lemma 8.31(2) over the base A⟨T/s⟩, whose remaining standing hypotheses —
completeness, separation, non-archimedeanness and countable generation of the uniformity — hold
of A⟨T/s⟩ unconditionally.
The Laurent quotient is flat over A⟨T/s⟩, for a topologically nilpotent denominator over
a strongly noetherian base.
A topologically nilpotent s makes A⟨T/s⟩ a Tate ring, and a strongly noetherian A⟨T/s⟩ is in
particular noetherian, so this is
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_quotient_laurentRelationIdeal with its two hypotheses
discharged.
Changing the localisation that carries a presentation is flat. For two presentations with
the same numerator set, carried by different localisations of A at s, the restriction map
between them is flat.
This is the identity enlargement, and it assumes nothing: no nilpotence, no noetherianity. It is
what lets the chain below end at an arbitrary localisation of T' rather than the one its
induction runs on.
Proposition 8.30, the elementary case: the restriction map A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T'/s⟩ of a
one-numerator enlargement is flat.
hsplit says that T' is the numerators of T together with the single t; hTate and
hnoeth are Lemma 8.31's hypotheses on the base A⟨T/s⟩, and hcl asks the Laurent relation
ideal to be closed. All three are asked only for t ∉ T. The ..._of_isStronglyNoetherian
variant below takes them in the form they are met in.
Proposition 8.30, the elementary case, for a topologically nilpotent denominator over a
strongly noetherian base: the hypotheses of
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset in the form they are met in, and
asked — as there — only for t ∉ T.
The chain form of Proposition 8.30, with strong noetherianity assumed at every proper
intermediate presentation: the restriction map A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T'/s⟩ of an arbitrary enlargement is
flat.
This is not Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30, and should not be cited as it. He assumes strong
noetherianity of A alone; hSN here asks it of A⟨U/s⟩ for every U with T ⊆ U ⊂ T'. What
separates the two is the standing hypothesis of his §8.2 — that rational localisations of a
strongly noetherian ring are again strongly noetherian — which hSN assumes case by case rather
than deriving.
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_isStronglyNoetherian_base
supplies that derivation, reducing the family hypothesis to strong noetherianity of A⟨T/s⟩
alone. The passage from A to A⟨T/s⟩ is supplied in turn by
flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_span_eq_top, which reaches Wedhorn's own hypothesis at the
cost of the unit-ideal condition on (T, s). This form remains the one to use when strong
noetherianity is known only at the intermediate presentations.
The enlargement is arbitrary and so is the localisation S' carrying the target, matching
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset and the rest of the restriction
API.
Both hypotheses are asked only of a proper enlargement, and for the same reason: the identity
enlargement is TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_self, which assumes
nothing. Strong noetherianity is then asked at every U with T ⊆ U ⊂ T', not only at T, because
the elementary step needs it at its own base and it does not descend along an enlargement.
The chain form of Proposition 8.30 asking strong noetherianity only at T: if the
completed localisation carrying the T-topology is strongly noetherian, the restriction map of
any numerator enlargement is flat.
It is not Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 as he states it. He assumes strong noetherianity
of A; this asks it of A⟨T/s⟩. The passage between the two is
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.isStronglyNoetherian_completion, applied in
flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_span_eq_top below, which asks A alone but adds the
unit-ideal condition on (T, s). Both hypotheses here are asked only of a proper enlargement:
for T' = T the map is flat outright, by
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_self.
Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30. Over a strongly noetherian Tate ring, the restriction map
A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T'/s⟩ attached to a numerator enlargement is flat when T together with s
generates the unit ideal.
No topological-nilpotence condition is imposed on s. The three hypotheses are conditional on
T ⊂ T'. Thus the identity enlargement remains
hypothesis-free, while in the intended application to rational subsets of a strongly noetherian
Tate ring they are supplied by the ambient instances and by
TauCeti.Huber.IsTateRing.isOpen_iff_eq_top.
Lemma 8.31(2) in the weighted presentation: over a complete noetherian Tate ring A, the
quotient A⟨X⟩ ⧸ (1 - f X) by TauCeti.Huber.rationalRelationIdeal at the single numerator 1
over the denominator f is a flat A-module. Here A⟨X⟩ is the weighted restricted series ring
with weight {1}, the presentation in which
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.rationalQuotientRingEquiv identifies the quotient with
A⟨{1}/f⟩. The hypotheses are those of
TauCeti.Huber.flat_quotient_one_sub_algebraMap_mul_restrictedX, the same statement for the
restricted power series ring.
Compare TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_quotient_laurentRelationIdeal, the flatness over
A⟨T/s⟩ of the quotient by (t/s - X).
The structure map A → A⟨T/s⟩ is flat for every presentation (T, s) of a complete
separated strongly noetherian Tate ring: Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 for the restriction from all of
Spa A, whose ring of sections is A itself because A is complete and separated.
Nothing is asked of (T, s) beyond the standing hypothesis HasDenominatorPower. This is what
separates it from TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_span_eq_top,
which keeps the denominator s fixed and, for a proper enlargement, asks the unit-ideal condition
on (T, s); here the source is A and the denominator is arbitrary.
Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 for a refinement, asking everything of A⟨T/s⟩. The restriction
map A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T''/s''⟩ of a refinement is flat as soon as B = A⟨T/s⟩ is Tate and strongly
noetherian: up to an isomorphism it is the structure map of a rational localisation of B.
Nothing is asked of A beyond the standing hypotheses — in particular A need not be Tate, so
this covers a Tate localisation of a non-Tate base. This is the form to use when the localisation,
rather than A, is what is known.
When A itself is strongly noetherian and T together with s generates the unit ideal, use
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHom, which derives hSN from those. The pair
mirrors …OfSubset_of_isStronglyNoetherian_base and …OfSubset_of_span_eq_top for a numerator
enlargement.
Wedhorn's Proposition 8.30 for a refinement. Over a strongly noetherian Tate ring A, the
restriction map A⟨T/s⟩ → A⟨T''/s''⟩ is flat whenever (T'', s'') refines (T, s) — that is,
s'' = s * r and every t * r, for t ∈ T, lies in T'' — and T together with s generates
the unit ideal. The denominator may change, and nothing is asked of (T'', s'') beyond the
standing hypothesis.
When the denominator is unchanged, use
PairOfDefinition.flat_restrictionRingHomOfSubset_of_span_eq_top instead: it is stated for
TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.restrictionRingHomOfSubset, and asks the Tate condition, strong
noetherianity and the unit-ideal condition only of a proper numerator enlargement. The restriction
from all of Spa A is TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.flat_toCompletionLoc.
