Logical Berkovich Geometry: A Point-free Perspective

Algebraic Geometry 2023-09-01 v1 Logic

Abstract

Extending our insights from \cite{NVOstrowski}, we apply point-free techniques to sharpen a foundational result in Berkovich geometry. In our language, given the ring A:=K{R1T}\mathcal{A}:=K\{R^{-1}T\} of convergent power series over a suitable non-Archimedean field KK, the points of its Berkovich Spectrum M(A)\mathcal{M}(\mathcal{A}) correspond to RR-good filters. The surprise is that, unlike the original result by Berkovich, we do not require the field KK to be non-trivially valued. Our investigations into non-Archimedean geometry can be understood as being framed by the question: what is the relationship between topology and logic?
