A Goldbach theorem for Laurent series semidomains
Abstract
A semidomain is a subsemiring of an integral domain. One can think of a semidomain as an integral domain in which additive inverses are no longer required. A semidomain is additively reduced if is the only invertible element of the monoid , while is additively atomic if the monoid is atomic (i.e., every non-invertible element can be written as the sum of finitely many irreducibles of ). In this paper, we describe the additively reduced and additively atomic semidomains for which every Laurent series that is not a monomial can be written as the sum of at most three multiplicative irreducibles. In particular, we show that, for each , every polynomial that is not a monomial can be written as the sum of two multiplicative irreducibles provided that .
