Whether strong sheafiness implies stable uniformity for Tate domains

Must a uniform sheafy Tate Huber pair be stably uniform, meaning that its rational localizations remain uniform? The studied counterexamples impose the stronger sheafiness property as well.

Why it matters and what counts as progress

Why it matters: The implication would reverse the known route from stable uniformity to sheafiness in nonarchimedean geometry.

What counts as progress: A converse theorem or an explicit uniform strongly sheafy Tate domain with a nonuniform rational localization, distinguishing reduced and nonreduced examples.

How the problem developed

  1. 18 Dec 2015 · Problem statement [1]

    Kiran S. Kedlaya Posted Question 7 of the Nonarchimedean Scottish Book: whether a sheafy uniform Tate Huber pair must be stably uniform.

  2. 22 Aug 2026 · Counterexample and formalization [2][3]

    Colin Birkbeck and Patrick Torzewski Released two uniform, strongly sheafy Tate-ring examples that are not stably uniform, with Lean formalizations of the constructions and headline theorems.

AI contribution

AI-origin Tate-domain examples answer a sheafiness question

Birkbeck and Torzewski give uniform, strongly sheafy, nonnoetherian Tate domains that are not stably uniform, answering Kedlaya’s Question 7. One finite-jet example has a nonreduced rational localization; a weighted-parity example has a nonuniform localization that remains a domain.
