Radical semistar operations

Abstract

We introduce and study the set of radical stable operations of an integral domain $D$. We show that their set is a complete lattice that is the join-completion of the set of spectral semistar operations, and we characterize when every radical operation is spectral (under the hypothesis that $D$ is rad-colon coherent). When $D$ is a Pr\"ufer domain such that every set of minimal prime ideals is scattered, we completely classify stable semistar operations.
