Spectral Theory and Analytic Geometry over Non-Archimedean Fields - Vladimir G. Berkovich - Bog

Introduces a new notion of analytic space over a non-Archimedean field. The book includes a homotopic characterization of the analytic spaces associated with certain classes of algebraic varieties and an interpretation of Bruhat-Tits buildings in terms of these analytic spaces. The author also studies the connection with the earlier notion of a rigid analytic space.
