The non-archimedean Corona problem
Let the field be complete w.r.t. a non-archimedean valuation. Let be a Mumford curve, i.e. the irreducible components of the stable reduction of have genus 0. The abelian etale coverings of are constructed using the analytic uniformization and the theta-functions on . For a local field one rediscovers . Frey’s description of the maximal abelian unramified extension of the field of rational functions of .
A curve over a non-archimedean valued field is with respect to its analytic structure a finite union of affinoid spaces. The main result states that the class group of a one dimensional, connected, regular affinoid space is trivial if and only if is a subspace of . As a consequence, has locally a trivial class group if and only if the stable reduction of has only rational components.
This paper is a sequel to [vdP-Sa] and [vdP]. The two classes of differential modules (0,-,3/2) and (-,-,3), related to PII, are interpreted as fine moduli spaces. It is shown that these moduli spaces coincide with the Okamoto-Painlevé spaces for the given parameters. The geometry of the moduli spaces leads to a proof of the Painlevé property for PII in standard form and in the Flaschka-Newell form. The Bäcklund transformations, the rational solutions and the Riccati solutions for PII are derived...
