Abstract: A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections. Theorem. A topological space X is homeomorphic to the spectrum of some countable Abelian {ell}-group with unit (resp., MV-algebra) iff X is spectral, has a countable basis of open sets, and for any points x and y in the closure of a singleton {z}, either x is in the closure of {y} or y is in the closure of {x}. We establish this result by proving that a countable distributive lattice D with zero is isomorphic to the lattice of all principal ideals of an Abelian {ell}-group (we say that D is {ell}-representable) iff for all a, b in D there are x, y in D such that a lor b = a lor y = b lor x and x land y = 0. On the other hand, we construct a non-{ell}-representable bounded distributive lattice, of cardinality aleph 1 , with an {ell}-representable countable Linfty,omega-elementary sublattice. In particular, there is no characterization, of the class of all {ell}-representable distributive lattices, in arbitrary cardinality, by any class of Linfty,omega sentences.
