Topological properties of localizations, flat overrings and sublocalizations (Q1621610)

The purpose of the paper under the review is to study the set of overrings of an integral domain from a topological point. Let \(D\) be an integral domain with quotient field \(K\). An overring of \(D\) is a ring comprised between \(D\) and \(K\). The Zarisky topology on the set \(\text{Over}(D)\) of overrings has as a basis of open sets, the sets of the form \[ \mathcal{B}(x_1,\ldots,x_n):=\{T \in \text{Over}(D)|x_1,\ldots,x_n \in T\} \] as \(x_1,\ldots,x_n\) range in \(K\). A spectral space is a topological space homeomorphic to the prime spectrum of a ring. The author study four subspace of \(\text{Over}(D)\): the space of localizations (at prime ideals); the space of quotient rings; sublocalizations and flat overrings. He study under which conditions they are spectral spaces and under which condition they are closed in the constructive topology of \(\text{Over}(D)\).
