Revision as of 18:43, 17 December 2015
The original Scottish Book was a compilation of problems, primarily concerning functional analysis, assembled at the Scottish Cafe in Lvov during the 1930s and 1940s. This web site is an analogous compilation of problems concerning nonarchimedean functional analysis and related topics, including analytic geometry (especially adic spaces) and perfectoid rings, fields, and spaces.
An ideal entry in this list includes the name of the proposer, the date of the initial post, a detailed statement of the problem, and attributed comments (including references as appropriate; these can be listed at the bottom of the page).

Problem 1
Proposed by Kiran S. Kedlaya, 17 December 2015.
Statement: Let K be a nonarchimedean commutative Banach ring whose underlying ring is a field. Suppose in addition that K is uniform, i.e., its norm is equivalent to a power-multiplicative norm. Is K necessarily a nonarchimedean field, that is, is the topology on K defined by some multiplicative norm?
Proposer's comment: This question acquires a negative answer if the uniform condition is omitted. Details available upon request.
Problem 2

To be added.
