Abstract

We associate a formal power series to every pp-formula over a Dedekind domain and use it to study Ziegler spectra of Dedekind domains R and \(\widetilde{R},\) where R a subring of \(\widetilde{R}\), with particular interest in the case when \(\widetilde{R}\) is the integral closure of R in a finite dimensional separable field extension of the field of fractions of R.
