The injective spectrum of a noncommutative space

Abstract

For a noncommutative space X, we study Inj(X), the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable injective X-modules. In particular, we look at how this set, suitably topologized, can be viewed as an underlying "spectrum" for X. As applications we discuss noncommutative notions of irreducibility and integrality, and a way of associating an integral subspace of X to each element of Inj(X) which behaves like a "weak point."
