Prime spectra of additive categories. I (Q1373772)

Two candidates for the prime spectrum of a non-commutative ring are proposed. The notions are made all the more natural by doing it for additive categories (ringoids) thought of as rings with several objects [\textit{B. Mitchell}, Adv. Math. 8, 1-161 (1972; Zbl 0232.18009)]. Then one of the notions depends only on the additive category while the other is localized at a given object. Semisimple ringoids are revisited.
