In the summer semester of 2019 (SS 2019), Prof. Dr. Jan Kohlhaase and I organised a learning seminar on p-adic geometry and rigid cohoomology at Universität Duisburg-Essen. The aim of this seminar was to learn the finite-dimensionality of rigid cohomology in [Ked06]. We first developed the theory of rigid analytic spaces, first established by Tate. In the third talk, we learnt (vaguely) some variations of p-adic geometry. Afterwards, we introduced the concept of rigid cohomology and proved the finite-dimensionality of rigid cohomology (for smooth case).
