Finite algebras over a Huber ring #

Let A be a Huber ring and B a commutative A-algebra that is finite as an A-module, with its natural topology (IsModuleTopology A B). Then B is a topological ring (IsModuleTopology.isTopologicalRing), and this file shows that it is again a Huber ring, and a Tate ring when A is. No completeness, noetherian, flatness or separatedness hypothesis is needed. This is how a finite étale algebra over a complete Tate ring becomes a Tate ring, the first step in making it a Huber pair over (A, A⁺).

Fix a pair of definition (A₀, I) of A and a finitely generated A₀-submodule M₀ ⊆ B containing 1 and spanning B over A. The submodules Iⁿ • M₀ are a neighbourhood basis of 0 (TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.hasBasis_nhds_zero_idealOfDefinition_pow_smul). The multiplier ring B₀ = {b ∈ B | b M₀ ⊆ M₀} is a subring of B (AddSubgroup.multiplierRing). Since M₀ * M₀ is finitely generated, a power Iʲ carries it into M₀ (TauCeti.Huber.PairOfDefinition.exists_pow_smul_le), so Iʲ • M₀ ⊆ B₀ (Submodule.smul_subset_multiplierRing) and B₀ is open. With the extension J of I to B₀, one gets I^(n + j) • M₀ ⊆ Jⁿ ⊆ Iⁿ • M₀ (Submodule.smul_subset_coe_map_pow, Submodule.coe_map_pow_subset), the second inclusion because 1 ∈ M₀ and B₀ M₀ ⊆ M₀. So the topology of B₀ is the J-adic one and (B₀, J) is a pair of definition of B. When A is Tate, the image of a pseudouniformiser of A is one of B.

The pair of definition #

Pairs of definition of a finite algebra. For every pair of definition (A₀, I) of A, a finite A-algebra B with its natural topology has a pair of definition (B₀, J) whose ring of definition contains the image of A₀ and is integral over A₀. It is the multiplier ring of a finitely generated spanning lattice containing 1, with the extension of I to it.

A finite algebra over a Huber ring is a Huber ring. If B is a commutative A-algebra, finite as an A-module and carrying its natural topology, then B is a Huber ring.

A finite algebra over a Tate ring is a Tate ring. If B is a commutative A-algebra, finite as an A-module and carrying its natural topology, then B is a Tate ring; the image of a pseudouniformiser of A is a pseudouniformiser of B.

Power-bounded and integral elements #

The structure map of a finite algebra preserves power-boundedness. A power-bounded a lies in a ring of definition A₀ of A, and algebraMap A B carries A₀ into a ring of definition of B.

The integral closure of the image of an open subring is open. If C is an open subring of a Huber ring A, the integral closure of its image in a finite A-algebra B with its natural topology is open: it contains a ring of definition of B that is integral over a ring of definition A₀ ⊆ C of A.
