Spectral topologies on skew braces
Themba Dube, Amartya Goswami
TL;DR
This work develops a spectral-topological framework for skew braces by introducing a new notion of prime ideals and constructing a Grothendieck-style topology on $\mathrm{Spec}(A)$. It analyzes irreducible closed subsets, generic points, and Noetherian conditions, and shows how skew-brace homomorphisms induce continuous maps between spectra, with a detailed adjunction between ideals and closed sets. A central result is that $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathrm{Idl}(A))$ is a spectral space, linking lattice-theoretic and topological properties. The paper also clarifies the roles of the radical and nilradical in this setting and outlines several open questions for further study.
Abstract
Using a new definition of a prime ideal of a skew brace A, on set Spec A of prime ideals of A we endow a spectral topology (in the sense of Grothendieck). We characterize irreducible closed subsets of Spec A and prove every irreducible closed subset of the space has a unique generic point. We give a sufficient condition for the space to be Noetherian. We study continuous maps between such spaces, and finally, we prove that Spec(Idl A) is a spectral space, where Idl A is the set of all ideals of A.
