4 Non-Archimedean valued fields A valued field is a field K with an absolute value : K R 0 satisfying a = 0 if and only if a = 0, ab = a b, a + b a + b, If a+b max{ a, b }, then K is a non-archimedean valued field. This condition is stronger than the triangle inequality. The absolute value is called discrete if the value group K is discrete in R >0.

5 Let s construct an example Let p be a prime number. We write x Q as x = p k a b, where p does not divide a and b, and k Z. v p : Q R { } 0 x k

6 Let s construct an example Let p be a prime number. We write x Q as x = p k a b, where p does not divide a and b, and k Z. v p : Q R { } 0 x k v p : Q R { } satisfies the following property: v p (x) = if and only if x = 0. v p (xy) = v p (x) + v p (y). v p (x + y) min{v p (x), v p (y)}. Such a map v p is called a valuation.

7 p-adic numbers We define the p-adic non-archimedean absolute value on Q, x p = p vp(x). Example: = = 1 25 The field of p-adic numbers Q p is the completion of the field of rational numbers Q under the p-adic absolute value. Completion: absolute value p uniquely extends to Q p. Q is dense in Q p. Q p is complete.

8 Ostrowski s Theorem Remark: The field of real numbers R is the completion of Q with respect to the (Archimedean) absolute value. The absolute values, p and q, with p q, are not equivalent (just think of the sequence {p n } n ). Theorem (Ostrowski 1916) Every non-trivial absolute value on Q is equivalent to or p for some prime number p. Theorem (Hasse Minkowski Theorem 1921) A quadratic form Q with coefficients in Q has a non-trivial solution in Q if and only if Q has a non-trivial solution in R and in Q p for every p.

9 More Examples Field K with trivial absolute value. The field C{{t}} of Puiseux series with complex coefficients: x = c 1 t a 1 + c 2 t a 2 + c 3 t a , where a 1 < a 2 < a 3 < are rational numbers that have a common denominator and c 1 0.

10 More Examples Field K with trivial absolute value. The field C{{t}} of Puiseux series with complex coefficients: x = c 1 t a 1 + c 2 t a 2 + c 3 t a , where a 1 < a 2 < a 3 < are rational numbers that have a common denominator and c 1 0. Number fields, i.e., finite field extensions of Q.

11 More Examples Field K with trivial absolute value. The field C{{t}} of Puiseux series with complex coefficients: x = c 1 t a 1 + c 2 t a 2 + c 3 t a , where a 1 < a 2 < a 3 < are rational numbers that have a common denominator and c 1 0. Number fields, i.e., finite field extensions of Q. The completion of Q p (p 1 p ) = n 1 Q p (p 1 p n ) (... perfectoid field, wait for the next lecture!).

12 Valuation ring and residue field Let K be a non-archimedean field. The valuation ring is R = { x K } x 1. It is a local ring with maximal ideal M = { x R x < 1 }. The residue field k is the quotient R/M. Example: K = Q p, then k = Z/pZ. K = C{{t}}, then k = C.

13 Topological properties of NA fields Remark that if a b, then a + b = max{ a, b }. D r (a) = {x Q p : x a r} D r (a) = {x Q p : x a < r} C r (a) = {x Q p : x a = r}

14 Topological properties of NA fields Remark that if a b, then a + b = max{ a, b }. D r (a) = {x Q p : x a r} D r (a) = {x Q p : x a < r} C r (a) = {x Q p : x a = r} We have the following properties: D r (b) C r (a) for every b C r (a). Closed disks are open: D r (a) = D r (a) C r (a). Every point in a disk is a center: D r (x) = D r (y) for every y D r (x). The field K is Hausdorff and locally compact, but totally disconnected.

15 What goes wrong Let K be a complete non-trivial NA valued field. A K-manifold is a space that looks like patches of K n. K is totally disconnected, then X is totally disconnected. A function is analytic if it can be given locally by convergent power series. K is totally disconnected, there are too many analytic functions. We want a better space!

17 Berkovich affine line Let A be a ring. A multiplicative seminorm on A is a multiplicative function : A R 0 such that 0 = 0 and 1 = 1, f + g f + g

18 Berkovich affine line Let A be a ring. A multiplicative seminorm on A is a multiplicative function : A R 0 such that 0 = 0 and 1 = 1, f + g f + g Let K be a valued field. We define A 1,Berk K as follows: points seminorms on K[T ] which extend the absolute value on K topology weakest topology such that for every f K[T ] the map f is continuous.

19 Points on A 1,Berk K Multiplicative seminorm x gives a point x A 1,Berk K. K = C The seminorms on C[T ] are of the form f f (z), for some z C. So A 1,Berk C is homeomorphic to C. Seminorms correspond to maximal ideals of C[T ].

20 Points on A 1,Berk K Multiplicative seminorm x gives a point x A 1,Berk K. K = C The seminorms on C[T ] are of the form f f (z), for some z C. So A 1,Berk C is homeomorphic to C. Seminorms correspond to maximal ideals of C[T ]. K an algebraically closed complete non-trivial NA field. Seminorms f f (x), for x K.

21 Points on A 1,Berk K Multiplicative seminorm x gives a point x A 1,Berk K. K = C The seminorms on C[T ] are of the form f f (z), for some z C. So A 1,Berk C is homeomorphic to C. Seminorms correspond to maximal ideals of C[T ]. K an algebraically closed complete non-trivial NA field. Seminorms f f (x), for x K. We have more seminorms: f Dr (a) = sup f (x), with D r (a) = {x K : x a r}. x D r (a)

22 f Dr (a) = sup f (x), with D r (a) = {x K : x a r}. x D r (a) D 0 (x) D r (x) D x y (x) = D x y (y) D r (y) D 0 (y)

23 Berkovich s Classification Theorem Theorem (Berkovich s Classification Theorem) Let K be an algebraically closed, complete non-archimedean field. Every point x A 1,Berk K corresponds to a decreasing nested sequence {D ri (a i )} of closed discs. Classification is done according to D = i D ri (a i ). TYPE I: D = D 0 (a). TYPE II: D = D r (a), with r K. TYPE III: D = D r (a), with r K. TYPE IV: D =.

24 A 1,Berk K Points of Type I are dense in A 1,Berk K. X 1,Berk K is uniquely path connected. Type II points are branching points.

25 Analytification of affine algebraic varieties Let X = SpecK[T 1,..., T n ]/I. The analytification XK Berk is the set of semimorms on K[T 1,..., T n ]/I extending the absolute value on K. X connected iff X Berk path connected X separated iff X Berk Hausdorff X proper iff X Berk compact same dimensions...

26 A tropical break Let I be an ideal in K[x 1 ±,..., x n ± ] and X its variety on the algebraic torus T n. The tropical variety Trop(X ) is defined as { } the closure in R n of (val(x 1 ),..., val(x n )) (x 1, x 2,..., x n ) X. The tropical variety Trop(X ) is a pure rational polyhedral complex. Enumerative geometry Brill-Noether theory of curves Mirror symmetry Optimization...

27 Analytification and Tropicalization Let X be an affine algebraic variety over K, and ϕ : X A m an affine embedding. The tropicalization Trop(X, ϕ) of X depends on ϕ.

28 Analytification and Tropicalization Let X be an affine algebraic variety over K, and ϕ : X A m an affine embedding. The tropicalization Trop(X, ϕ) of X depends on ϕ. Theorem (Payne 09) The analytification X an is homeomorphic to the limit of all tropicalizations Trop(X, ϕ).

31 Higher rank valuations Let A be a ring. A valuation is a map to a totally ordered abelian group Γ, : A Γ {0}, satisfying the following properties: 0 = 0, 1 = 1, x + y max{ x, y }. Example: A = K T = { a c n 0 nt an} the ring of convergent power series on T 1. A + = R T the subspace of power series in the valuation ring R. We define X = Spa(A, A + ) as { : A Γ {0} continuous valuation on A f 1, f A +}

32 Points on Spa(A, A + ) TYPE I: f f (a), a 1.

33 Points on Spa(A, A + ) TYPE I: f f (a), a 1. TYPE II and III: f sup y Dr (a) f (y), a 1 and 0 < r 1. TYPE IV: as before for not spherically complete field

34 Points on Spa(A, A + ) TYPE I: f f (a), a 1. TYPE II and III: f sup y Dr (a) f (y), a 1 and 0 < r 1. TYPE IV: as before for not spherically complete field TYPE V: Let a 1 and 0 < r 1. Let γ be a number infinitesimally smaller or bigger than r and Γ = R >0 γ Z. f = c n (T a) n max c n γ n. If r K, then these points are equivalent to point III.
