What is the image of the restriction of the Spec functor (the functor from commutative rings to affine schemes) to commutative rings with the trivial monoid under multiplication?

Thanks very much

    Hi Julian, thanks for the comment. I want to find a subcategory of the category of affine schemes that is dual to the category of commutative rings with trivial monoid under multiplication which is equivalent to the category of abelian groups.2012-10-18

    The dual of the category of abelian groups can be embedded in the category of locally compact abelian groups, by Pontryagin duality.2012-10-18
