Complex analytic vs algebraic geometry

This is more of a philosophical or historical question, and I can be totally wrong in what I am about to write next. It looks to me, that complex-analytic geometry has lost its relative positions ...

Are flat morphisms of analytic spaces open?

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a morphism of complex analytic spaces. Assume $f$ is flat (or, more generally, that there is a coherent sheaf on $X$ with support $X$ which is $f$-flat). Is $f$ an open map? The ...

Geometric interpretation of algebraic tangent cone

Suppose $(A,\mathfrak m)$ is a Neotherian local $k$-algebra with residue field $k$. Then, we define (the coordinate ring of) its algebraic tangent cone to be the $k$-algebra $A_c = \sum_{i\ge 0} \...

Geometric realization of Hochschild complex

Let $A$ be a commutative $\mathbb{C}$-algebra, and consider $C_{\bullet}(A,A)$ the simplicial Hochschild homology module of $A$ with respect to itself (i.e. $C_{n}(A,A)=A^{\otimes (n+1)}$). This is a ...

Does GAGA hold over other topological fields?

If k is a non-discrete topological field, we can define an analytic space over k just like complex analytic spaces over $\mathbb{C}$. If you replace "complex analytic space" and "complex algebraic ...
