Abstract

Let TT be a totally ordered set and let D(T)D(T) denote the set of all cuts of TT. We prove the existence of a discrete valuation domain OvO_{v} such that TT is order isomorphic to two special subsets of Spec(Ov)(O_{v}). We prove that if AA is a ring (not necessarily commutative) whose prime spectrum is totally ordered and satisfies (K2), then there exists a totally ordered set USpec(A)U \subseteq \text{Spec}(A) such that the prime spectrum of AA is order isomorphic to D(U)D(U). We also present equivalent conditions for a totally ordered set to be a Dedekind totally ordered set. At the end, we present an algebraic geometry point of view
