Valuative compactifications of analytic varieties
Abstract
Let be an algebraic variety over . We define a canonical compactification of the complex analytic space by adding a Berkovich space over a trivially valued field at the boundary. The construction is functorial with respect to proper morphisms and preserves many properties, such as normality, regularity, etc. We prove a partial GAGA theorem in this setting : there is an equivalence between the categories of coherent sheaves on and , and it induces bijections on global sections. The results still hold if is replaced by a complete non-trivially valued field , and complex analytic spaces by Berkovich analytic spaces over .

41 pages; v2: added Remark 5.19 to show that the cohomology of the compactification may be different from the algebraic cohomology
