Rigid analytic geometry (often just “rigid geometry” for short) is a form of analytic geometry over a nonarchimedean field which considers spaces glued from polydiscs, hence from maximal spectra of Tate algebras (quotients of a -algebra of converging power series). This is in contrast to some modern approaches to non-Archimedean analytic geometry such as Berkovich spaces which are glued from Berkovich’s analytic spectra and more recent Huber’s adic spaces.
The issue is that while the p-adic numbers are complete in the p-adic norm, that topology is exotic: is a Stone space, hence in particular a totally disconnected topological space.
For that reason the naive idea of formulating p-adic analytic geometry in analogy to complex analytic geometry as modeled on domains in , regarded with their subspace topology, fails, as also all these domains are totally disconnected.
Instead there is (Tate 71) a suitable Grothendieck topology on such affinoid domains – the G-topology – with respect to which there is a good theory of non-archimedean analytic geometry (“rigid analytic geometry”) and hence in particular of p-adic geometry. Moreover, one may sensibly assign to a -adic domain a topological space which is well behaved (in particular locally connected and even locally contractible), this is the analytic spectrum construction. The resulting topological spaces equipped with covers by affinoid domain under the analytic spectrum are called Berkovich spaces.
According to Kedlaya, p. 18, the terminology “rigid” is because…
… one develops everything “rigidly” by imitating the theory of schemes in algebraic geometry, but using rings of convergent power series instead of polynomials.

The related type of cohomology is called rigid cohomology.
Any smooth rigid-analytic variety admits a cover where the ‘s are affinoid perfectoid spaces (corollary 4.7 of Scholze12). Together with the fact that is almost zero for when is an affinoid perfectoid space, this allows one to compute the cohomology . The Artin-Schreier sequence can then be used to compute the cohomology (see the discussion in section 5.7 of Weinstein15).
The solution by Raynaud and Harbater of Abyhankar’s conjecture concerning fundamental groups of curves in positive characteristic uses the rigid analytic GAGA theorems (whose proofs are very similar to Serre’s proofs in the complex-analytic case).
Work of Kisin on modularity of Galois representations makes creative use of rigid-analytic spaces associated to Galois deformation rings.
