Abstract

We give an explicit description of the lattice \Semistar(D)\Semistar(D) of all semistar operations on any Dedekind domain DD from its set \Max(D)\Max(D) of maximal ideals. This descpription is constructive if \Max(D)\Max(D) is finite. As a corollary we show that 2(n[n/2])\Semistar(D)22n2^{{n \choose [n/2]}} \leq |\Semistar(D)| \leq 2^{2^n} if n=\Max(D)n = |\Max(D)| is finite; we compute \Semistar(D)|\Semistar(D)| if \Max(D)7|\Max(D)| \leq 7; and we show that if \Max(D)\Max(D) is infinite then \Semistar(D)\Semistar(D) has cardinality 22\Max(D)2^{2^{|\Max(D)|}}.
