3 Definitions and examples Assumptions and notations All rings R will be commutative and unitary; we also assume that R is an integral domain with quotient field K. We will not assume that R is Noetherian. An overring is a ring comprised between R and K. Zar(R) is the set of valuation overrings of R. We denote by F(R) the set of R-submodules of K. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

4 Definitions and examples Definition Definition A map : F(R) F(R), I I is a semistar operation if, for every I, J F(R), it is extensive: I I ; it is order-preserving: if I J then I J ; it is idempotent: (I ) = I ; for every x K, x I = (xi ). If I = I, we say that I is -closed. The first three properties makes sense in every partially ordered set, giving the general concept of closure operation. Related kinds of closure operations: star and semiprime operations. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

5 Definitions and examples The order structure Definition Given two semistar operations 1, 2, we say that 1 2 if I 1 I 2 every R-submodule I. for The set SStar(R) of all semistar operations, with this order, is a complete lattice. The infimum of { α } α A is the operation such that I = I α. α A There is no general formula for the supremum of { α } α A ; however, I = I if and only if I = I α for every α. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

6 Definitions and examples Finite type Definition Let be a semistar operation. Then, define f as the map I I f := {F : F I, F is finitely generated}. f is always a semistar operation. f. I = I f if I is finitely generated. is a semistar operation of finite type (or a finite-type operation) if = f. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

7 Definitions and examples Why operations of finite type? Finite-type closures depends only on finitely-generated fractional ideals (in particular, on ideals inside the ring). For example, if 1 and 2 are of finite type, and we want to know whether 1 = 2, we only need to check it at ideals. More uniform behaviour (no jumps ). If is of finite type and L is R-flat, then (IL) = I L. Existence of -maximal ideals: say that I is a quasi- -ideal if I = I R. Then, I is contained in a maximal quasi- -ideal, which moreover is prime. We can control the supremum: I sup(a) = {I 1 n : 1,..., n A} Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

8 Definitions and examples Examples If T is an overring, the extension T : I IT is a semistar operation of finite type. If T = R we get the identity (denoted by d): I d = I for every submodule I. If T = K we get the trivial extension K : I K = K for every I (0). Given a set of overrings, := inf{ T : T }, i.e., I = T If = {R P : P Y } (with Y Spec(R)) is a set of localizations, then we define s Y as : I s Y = IR P, P Y IT. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

9 Definitions and examples Examples (2) The b-operation (or integral closure): if I is an ideal, I b is the set of x K such that for some a i I i. x n + a 1 x n a n 1 x + a n = 0 Equivalently, b = Zar(R). Since we need only a finite amount of data (enough to generate the a i ) the b-operation is of finite type. The v-operation: I v = (R : (R : I )), where (F : G) := {x K : xg F }. More generally, it can be done by using any submodule L in place of R. This is usually not of finite type: if V is a valuation domain with non-finitely generated maximal ideal M, then M v = V but I v = I for every finitely generated ideal. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

10 Definitions and examples A Noetherian example Let R be a Noetherian domain such that dim(r) 2. Consider the set := {V Zar(R) : V is a DVR}. If I is an ideal of R, I = I b ; in particular, and b coincide over finitely generated ideals: hence, ( ) f = b f = b. If W is a non-discrete valuation overring (for example, if dim(w ) 2), then there is (at most) one V above W. Hence, W = V W, while W b = W : hence, b. Therefore, ( ) f, that is, is not of finite type. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

11 The Zariski topology The Zariski topology Definition We define the Zariski topology on SStar(R) to be the topology whose subbasic open set are those in the form V I := { SStar(R) : 1 I } as I ranges among the R-submodule of K. We get the same topology if we use the sets of the form V I,y := { SStar(R) : y I } since V I,y = V y 1 I. However, if we want reduce to generalize the topology (for example, to semiprime operations or to rings with zerodivisors), then we have to use the V I,y. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

12 The Zariski topology Basic properties SStar(R) is T 0. Link with the order structure: if O is open, O and, then O. In particular, the closure of { } is { : }. There is a unique closed point (d) and a unique generic point ( K ). SStar(R) is not T 1 nor T 2 (Haussdorff). [Unless R = K.] SStar(R) is compact. Limited functoriality: if A B is an extension of integral domains, there is a continuous map SStar(B) SStar(A), which is injective if B is an overring of A. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

13 The Zariski topology The Zariski topology on SStar f (R) SStar f (R) is dense in SStar(R). The map Ψ f :SStar(R) is a topological retraction. If U F := V F SStar f (R), then SStar f (R) f {U F : F is a finitely generated R-submodule of K} is a subbasis of the induced topology. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

14 The Zariski topology The Zariski topology on SStar f (R) (2) The map ι : Over(R) T is a topological embedding. SStar f (R) T The topology on Over(R) is generated by the sets BF := Over(R[F ]), as F varies among the finite subsets of K. If Λ SStar f (R) is compact, then inf Λ is of finite type. If Over(R) is compact, then is of finite type. If R is Noetherian, dim(r) 2, then {V Zar(R) : V is a DVR} is not compact. The converse does not hold. SStar f (R) is a spectral space. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

15 The Zariski topology Spectral spaces Definition A spectral space is a topological space that is homemorphic to the prime spectrum of a commutative ring R, endowed with the Zariski topology. Spec(R) (with the Zariski toplogy) is a spectral space. Zar(R) and Over(R) are spectral spaces. Every finite poset (endowed with the order topology) is a spectral space. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

16 The Zariski topology Topological characterization of spectral spaces Spectral spaces can be characterized topologically [Hochster]: X is a spectral space if and only if the following properties hold: X is compact and T 0 ; every irreducible closed subset of X has a generic point (i.e., it is the closure of a single point); there is a basis of compact subsets that is closed by finite intersections. If X = SStar(R) or X = SStar f (R), then the first and the third point are easy (we use as a base the family of finite intersections of the sets U F ). What about the second property? Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

17 The Zariski topology Ultrafilters Definition Let X be a set. A filter on X is a subset Y of P(X ) such that if A Y and A B then B Y; if A, B Y then A B Y; / Y. An ultrafilter is a maximal filter. Every filter is contained in an ultrafilter (consequence of Zorn s lemma). Ultrafilters can be used to prove Tychonoff s theorem. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

18 The Zariski topology Spectral spaces and ultrafilters Through Hochster s theorem, we can characterize spectral spaces in terms of ultrafilters: Proposizione ([Finocchiaro, 2014]) Let X be a T 0 space. Then, X is a spectral space if and only if there is a subbasis S of X such that, for every ultrafilter U on X, the set is nonempty. X S (U ) := {x X : [ B S, x B B U ]} The subbase S matters. Very non-constructive criterion. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

19 The Zariski topology SStar f (R) as a spectral space S := {U F : F is finitely generated}. The natural candidate is := sup{inf(u F ) : U F U }} inf(u F ) is of finite type since U F is compact. Since all is of finite type, we can control the supremum. We can show that X S (U ). Teorema SStar f (R) is a spectral space. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

20 The Zariski topology What kind of ring? Suppose SStar f (R) Spec(D). SStar f (R) has a minimum and a maximum; hence D is local and has a unique minimal prime (so we can take it as a domain). dim(d) Spec(R). Spec(R) < : write Spec(R) = {P 1,..., P n } in a way such that P i is a minimal element of {P i,..., P n }. Then, if i := {P 1,..., P k }, we have a descending chain K = s > s 1 > s 2 > > s n = d, and thus dim(d) n = Spec(R). Spec(R) = : we can do the previous reasoning with arbitrary large finite subsets. In particular, if Spec(R) is infinite, dim(d) = and, being local, D cannot not Noetherian. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

21 Spectral and eab operations More kinds of semistar operations Definition A semistar operation is: stable if (I J) = I J for every I, J F(R); spectral if I = IR P for some Spec(R). P By flatness, a spectral operation is stable. The converse is not true: V a valuation domain with non-finitely generated maximal ideal, = v. However, a stable operation of finite type is spectral. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

22 Spectral and eab operations More kinds of semistar operations (2) Definition A semistar operation is: eab if, whenever F, G, H are finitely generated, (FG) (FH) implies G H ; valutative if I = IV for some Zar(R). V Valutative operations are eab. Not all eab operations are valutative: V a valuation domain with non-finitely generated maximal ideal, = v. However, an eab operation of finite type is valutative. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

23 Spectral and eab operations Spectral and eab: differences The relations stable/spectral and eab/valuative are different: spectral is equivalent to stable and semifinite, but valuative is not equivalent to eab and semifinite [Fontana and Loper, 2009]. While valutative implies f valutative, spectral does not imply f spectral [Anderson and Cook, 2000]. The supremum of a family of finite-type spectral operations is spectral. Does the same holds for valutative operations? Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

24 Spectral and eab operations Finite type, spectral and eab: analogies Like Over(R) is embedded in SStar f (R), the set of localizations of R is embedded iton SStar f,sp (R), while Zar(R) is embedded into SStar f,eab (R). Like for Ψ f : SStar(R) SStar f (R), we can define retractions Ψ sp : SStar(R) SStar f,sp (R) and Ψ a : SStar(R) SStar f,eab (R). However, while Ψf ( ) and Ψ sp ( ), we have Ψ a ( ) f, and we can t in general compare Ψ a ( ) with. SStar f,sp (R) is a spectral space. The proof follows the same path of the proof for SStar f (R). Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

25 Spectral and eab operations Finite type, spectral and eab: analogies (2) If is of finite type and eab or spectral, then there is a ring R (X ) such that R[X ] R (X ) K(X ) and I = IR (X ) K for every I F(R). If Spec(R) or Zar(R), then s (respectively, ) is of finite type if and only if is compact. New proof of the fact that Zar(R) is compact. If, Λ Spec(R) are compact, then = Λ if and only if = Λ Y := {P Spec(R) : P Q for some Q Y } is the generization of Y. An analogous criterion holds for valutative operations, but in the other way: = Λ if and only if = Λ. Dario Spirito (Univ. Roma Tre) Topology and semistar operations February 13th, / 28

26 Spectral and eab operations The Kronecker function ring Definition The Kronecker function ring of R is { } f Kr(R) := K(X ) : f, g R[X ], c(f ) c(g)b g where c(f ) (the content of f ) is the ideal of R generated by the coefficients of f. Kr(R) is always a Bézout domain. In particular, Spec(Kr(R)) Zar(Kr(R)). With the previous notation, Kr(R) = R b (X ) Dario Spirito (Univ.
