Course description and aims

Rigid Geometry is a modern framework of geometry, established by Tate and Raynaud in an attempt to obtain analytic geometry over non-archimedean fields such as p-adic fields, and is nowadays becoming more and more important in several areas of mathematics, not only in algebraic and arithmetic geometries. The aim of this lecture is to cover overall basics of rigid geometry.

Student learning outcomes

(1) Obtain overall knowledge on basics in rigid geometry
(2) Understand the relationship between rigid geometry and formal geometry
(3) Attain deep understanding of possible applications of rigid geometry

Keywords

Rigid geometry, Formal geometry, Non-archimedean uniformization

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
