Abstract

Let KK be a field and let AA be a subring of KK. We consider properties and applications of a compact, Hausdorff topology called the "ultrafilter topology" defined on the space Zar(KA)(K|A) of all valuation domains having KK as quotient field and containing AA. We show that the ultrafilter topology coincides with the constructible topology on the abstract Riemann-Zariski surface Zar(KA)(K|A). We extend results regarding distinguished spectral topologies on spaces of valuation domains.
