Fixed typos to this relatively new question
Mar 17, 2021 at 19:42 comment added Peter Scholze @AndreasBlass Oops, I'm sorry, you are of course right. But can you not build a version of this example that includes specializations back and forth? I think this ought to be a spectral space, still.
Mar 17, 2021 at 17:51 comment added Andreas Blass @PeterScholze I don't (yet) understand your comment. In your example, isn't the partial order of prime ideals just a linear order, so every two ideals are joined by a zigzag (a single zig or a single zag)?
Mar 17, 2021 at 15:55 comment added Neil Strickland There is a rich theory of homotopy types of finite non-Hausdorff spaces: see ncatlab.org/nlab/show/finite+topological+space for some references. Similar phenomena will appear if you study homotopy types of Zariski spectra of rings.
Mar 17, 2021 at 14:38 comment added Peter Scholze @AndreasBlass That's not quite right. If $V$ is a valuation ring of infinite rank, you can have the situation $\mathrm{Spec}(V)=\{0,1,\ldots,\infty\}$ with the topology for which the open sets are all $\{n,n+1,\ldots,\infty\}$. In that case there is a map $[0,1]\to \mathrm{Spec}(V)$ connecting $0$ to $\infty$: On $[0,1/2]$, map to $0$, on $(1/2,3/4]$ map to $1$, on $(3/4,7/8]$ map to $2$ etc., finally mapping $1$ to $\infty$.

Mar 15, 2021 at 18:22 comment added Andreas Blass The components (in the partial-order sense, i.e., equivalence classes of the "exists a zigzag" relation) of the partial order of prime ideals are open and closed in the Zariski topology, so the image of a continuous map from $[0,1]$ (or from any connected space) cannot meet more than one of them.
