$F$-intersection flatness of dagger and Berkovich affinoid algebras

Abstract

We show, using the techniques developed in arXiv:2504.06444 and arXiv:2305.11139, that dagger algebras and Tate algebras in the sense of Berkovich in prime characteristic $p > 0$ have intersection flat Frobenius. Equivalently, if $S$ is such a ring, then $S^{1/p}$ is a flat and Mittag-Leffler $S$-module. As a consequence, we deduce that any ideal-adic completion of a reduced ring that is essentially of finite type over a dagger algebra or a Berkovich Tate algebra in prime characteristic has big test elements from tight closure theory.
