Let R be an associative ring with identity. We study an elementary generalization of the classical Zariski topology, applied to the set of isomorphism classes of simple left Rmodules (or, more generally, simple objects in a complete abelian category). Under this topology the points are closed, and when R is left noetherian the corresponding topological space is noetherian. If R is commutative (...

‎‎Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module‎. ‎We define the primary spectrum of $M$‎, ‎denoted by $mathcal{PS}(M)$‎, ‎to be the set of all primary submodules $Q$ of $M$ such that $(operatorname{rad}Q:M)=sqrt{(Q:M)}$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we topologize $mathcal{PS}(M)$ with a topology having the Zariski topology on the prime spectrum $operatorname{Spec}(M)$ as a sub...

Let L be a complete lattice. We introduce and characterize the prime L-submodules of a unitary module over a commutative ring with identity. Finally, we investigate the Zariski topology on the prime L-Spectrum of a unitary module, consisting of the collection of all prime L-submodules, and prove that for L-top modules the Zariski topology on L-Spec(M) exists. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Let $f \colon X \to X$ be a surjective endomorphism of normal projective surface. When $\operatorname{deg} f \geq 2$, applying an (iteration of) $f$-equivariant minimal model program (EMMP), we determine the geometric structure $X$. Using this, extend second author's result to singular surfaces extent that either $X$ has $f$-invariant non-constant rational function, or $f$ infinitely many Zaris...

We consider the Zariski space of all places of an algebraic function field F |K of arbitrary characteristic and investigate its structure by means of its patch topology. We show that certain sets of places with nice properties (e.g., prime divisors, places of maximal rank, zerodimensional discrete places) lie dense in this topology. Further, we give several equivalent characterizations of field...
