Isolated points of the Zariski space

Abstract

Let DD be an integral domain and LL be a field containing DD. We study the isolated points of the Zariski space Zar(LD)\mathrm{Zar}(L|D), with respect to the constructible topology. In particular, we completely characterize when LL (as a point) is isolated and, under the hypothesis that LL is the quotient field of DD, when a valuation domain of dimension 11 is isolated; as a consequence, we find all isolated points of Zar(D)\mathrm{Zar}(D) when DD is a Noetherian domain. We also show that if VV is a valuation domain and LL is transcendental over VV then the set of extensions of VV to LL has no isolated points.
