Abstract

We study the basic geometry of a class of analytic adic spaces that arise in the study of the extended (or adic) eigenvarieties constructed by Andreatta–Iovita–Pilloni, Gulotta and the authors.We apply this to prove a general interpolation theorem for Langlands functoriality, which works for extended eigenvarieties and improves upon existing results in characteristic $0$. As an application, we show that the characteristic $p$ locus of the extended eigenvariety for $\mathrm{GL}_2 / F$, where $F / \mathbb{Q}$ is a cyclic extension, contains non-ordinary components of dimension at least $[F : \mathbb{Q}]$.
