Attaching topological spaces to a module (I): Sobriety and spatial frames of submodules

Abstract

In this paper we study some frames associated to an $R$-module $M$. We define semiprimitive submodules and we prove that they form an spatial frame canonically isomorphic to the topology of $Max(M)$. We characterize the soberness of $Max(M)$ in terms of the point space of that frame. Beside of this, we study the regularity of an spatial frame associated to $M$ given by annihilator conditions.
