Abstract
We describe the prime ideals and, in particular, the maximal ideals in products of families of commutative rings. We show that every maximal ideal is induced by an ultrafilter on the Boolean algebra , where is the spectrum of maximal ideals of , and denotes the power set. If every is in a certain class of rings including finite character domains and one-dimensional domains, we completely characterize the maximal ideals of . If every is a Pr\"ufer domain, we completely characterize all prime ideals of .
