A Zariski Topology for Modules

Abstract

Given a duo module $M$ over an associative (not necessarily commutative) ring $R,$ a Zariski topology is defined on the spectrum ${\mathrm{Spec}}^{\mathrm{fp}}(M)$ of {\it fully prime} $R$-submodules of $M$. We investigate, in particular, the interplay between the properties of this space and the algebraic properties of the module under consideration.
