German title
Non-Archimedean Banach Algebras

Contents
This course gives a first introduction to non-archimedean Banach algebras and could have also be
named Algebraic Number Theory II. It requires a good knowledge of algebra and commutative algebra
but basically no prerequisites from Algebraic Number Theory I. Non-archimedean Banach algebras
play a crucial role in modern Non-Archimedean Analytic Geometry and in Scholze's theory of
Perfectoid Spaces. We are mainly interested in affinoid algebras which can be described as quotients
of algebras of convergent power series. We follow the approach by Berkovich developed in his book
'Spectral theory and analytic geometry over non-archimedean fields' and subsequent papers. We will
discuss Banach spaces over non-archimedean fields, spectra of commutative Banach rings, affinoid
algebras and their algebraic properties, reduction, boundary and interior. This course serves as
an introduction to my course 'Non-Archimedean Analytic Geometry' in the coming winter term.

the first week of the teaching period.

Course work (Studienleistungen)

Successful participation in the exercise classes: Active participation and the presentation of
solutions to exercises: Each participant has to present at least two solutions, at least one
from the exercise sheets 1-6 and at least one from the exercise sheets 7-12. Furthermore
written solutions to the exercises have to be submitted (at least 30% successful solutions from
sheet 1-6 and at least 30% successful solutions from sheet 7-12).
