Abstract

Let VV be a minimal valuation overring of an integral domain DD and let Zar(D)\mathrm{Zar}(D) be the Zariski space of the valuation overrings of DD. Starting from a result in the theory of semistar operations, we prove a criterion under which the set Zar(D){V}\mathrm{Zar}(D)\setminus\{V\} is not compact. We then use it to prove that, in many cases, Zar(D)\mathrm{Zar}(D) is not a Noetherian space, and apply it to the study of the spaces of Kronecker function rings and of Noetherian overrings.
