Goldbach theorems for group semidomains

Commutative Algebra 2024-12-24 v2

Abstract

A semidomain is a subsemiring of an integral domain. We call a semidomain SS additively reduced if 00 is the only invertible element of the monoid (S,+)(S, +), while we say that SS is additively Furstenberg if every non-invertible element of (S,+)(S,+) can be expressed as the sum of an atom and an element of SS. In this paper, we study a variant of the Goldbach conjecture within the framework of group semidomains S[G]S[G] and group series semidomains S[ ⁣[G] ⁣]S[\![G]\!], where SS is both an additively reduced and additively Furstenberg semidomain and GG is a torsion-free abelian group. In particular, we show that every non-constant polynomial expression in S[G]S[G] can be written as the sum of at most two irreducibles if and only if the condition A+(S)=S×\mathscr{A}_+(S) = S^\times holds.
