$\mathbb{G}_m$-cohomology of $p$-adic Stein spaces

Abstract

We compute the \'etale $\mathbb{G}_m$-cohomology of some $p$-adic rigid analytic Stein spaces. The computation is done by considering the filtration induced by the subgroup of principal units $U=1+ \mathfrak{m} \mathcal{O}^+$ of $\mathbb{G}_m$. We then determine the $U$-cohomology via methods from $p$-adic Hodge theory (passage to the pro-\'etale site, comparison theorems with $p$-adic cohomologies), while the $\mathbb{G}_m/U$-cohomology is obtained using Kummer exact sequences. In particular, our formula applies to the case of Drinfeld upper-half space.
