Topological properties of Noetherian affine schemes that do not hold for general Noetherian spectral spaces
I used to think that the only reason why an affine scheme with a Noetherian space can fail to be Noetherian is nilpotents. It turns out that this is not true.
This leads me to the following question: ...
