Synopsis

For each ring R, we construct a topological space pt (R) which includes as a subspace both the classical spectrum specR and the torsion theoretic spectrum R-sp. For many rings (e.g. rings with Krull dimension), spec R is a retract of pt (R) and the retraction map θ generalizes the Gabriel correspondence for noetherian rings. There is a natural decomposition theory on MOD-R which extends the Goldman theory in the same way that the tertiary theory extends the primary theory. The map θ provides a direct comparison between this new decomposition theory and the tertiary theory. The space pt (R) is closely connected with the lattice of hereditary torsion theories on R, and for fully bounded (not necessarily noetherian) R, this connection is very tight.
