Abstract
We present the Zariski spectrum as an inductively generated basic topology à la Martin-Löf and Sambin. Since we can thus get by without considering powers and radicals, this simplifies the presentation as a formal topology initiated by Sigstam. Our treatment includes closed subspaces and basic opens: that is, arbitrary quotients and singleton localisations. All the effective objects under consideration are introduced by means of inductive definitions. The notions of spatiality and reducibility are characterized for the class of Zariski formal topologies, and their nonconstructive content is pointed out: while spatiality implies classical logic, reducibility corresponds to a fragment of the Axiom of Choice in the form of Russell’s Multiplicative Axiom.
期刊介绍:
Confluentes Mathematici is a mathematical research journal. Since its creation in 2009 by the Institut Camille Jordan UMR 5208 and the Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées UMR 5669 of the Université de Lyon, it reflects the wish of the mathematical community of Lyon—Saint-Étienne to participate in the new forms of scientific edittion. The journal is electronic only, fully open acces and without author charges. The journal aims to publish high quality mathematical research articles in English, French or German. All domains of Mathematics (pure and applied) and Mathematical Physics will be considered, as well as the History of Mathematics. Confluentes Mathematici also publishes survey articles. Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the expository style of their article, in order to be understood by all the communities concerned.
