Le lemme d'Abhyankar perfectoide

Abstract

We extend Faltings's "almost purity theorem" on finite etale extensions of perfectoid algebras (as generalized by Scholze and Kedlaya-Liu) to the ramified case, without restriction on the discriminant. The key point is a perfectoid version of Riemann's extension theorem. Categorical aspects of uniform Banach algebras and perfectoid algebras are revisited beforehand.
