Non-axiomatizability of real spectra in λ
Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques, Serie 6, Volume 21 (2012) no. 2, pp. 343-358.

We show that the property of a spectral space, to be a spectral subspace of the real spectrum of a commutative ring, is not expressible in the infinitary first order language λ of its defining lattice. This generalises a result of Delzell and Madden which says that not every completely normal spectral space is a real spectrum.

Nous montrons que la propriété d’un espace spectral d’être un sous-espace spectral du spectre réel d’un anneau commutatif n’est pas exprimable dans le langage infinitaire du premier ordre λ de son treillis de définition. Ceci généralise un résultat de Delzell et Madden qui dit qu’en général, un espace spectral complètement normal n’est pas un spectre réel.
