Abstract

Let $D$ be an integral domain with $Spec(D)$ finite, $K$ the quotient field of $D$, $[D,K]$ the set of rings between $D$ and $K$, and $SFc(D)$ the set of semistar operations of finite character on $D$. It is well known that $|Spec(D)| \leq |SFc(D)|$. In this paper, we prove that $|Spec(D)| = |SFc(D)|$ if and only if $D$ is a valuation domain, if and only if $|Spec(D)| = |[D,K]|$. We also study integral domains $D$ such that $|Spec(D)| +1 = |SFc(D)|$.
