Twisted calculus on affinoid algebras

Abstract

We introduce the notion of a twisted differential operator of given radius relative to an endomorphism $$\sigma$$ of an affinoid algebra A. We show that this notion is essentially independent of the choice of the endomorphism $$\sigma$$. As a particular case, we obtain an explicit equivalence between modules endowed with a usual integrable connection (i.e. differential systems) and modules endowed with a $$\sigma$$-connection of the same radius (i.e. q-difference systems). Moreover, this equivalence preserves cohomology and in particular solutions.
