Rigid cohomology of locally noetherian schemes Part 1 : Geometry

Abstract

We set up the geometric background necessary to extend rigid cohomology from the case of algebraic varieties to the case of general locally noetherian formal schemes. In particular, we generalize Berthelot's strong fibration theorem to adic spaces: we show that if we are given a morphism of locally noetherian formal schemes which is partially proper and formally smooth around a formal subscheme, and we pull back along a morphism from an analytic space which is locally of noetherian type, then we obtain locally a fibration on strict neighborhoods.
