On the structure of the complement of skeleton

Algebraic Geometry 2025-06-16 v5

Abstract

We study the higher dimensional geometry of Berkovich spaces using virtual open disks, which are given by fibration of relative dimension 11. Inspired by birational geometry, we conjecture that the Berkovich skeleton is the complement of the union of all virtual open disks, and prove this conjecture for X\mathcal{X} admitting a strictly semistable model with semiample canonical class.
