Abstract

Let HH be a Krull monoid with finite class group GG such that every class contains a prime divisor. We consider the system L(H)\mathcal L (H) of all sets of lengths of HH and study when L(H)\mathcal L (H) contains or is contained in a system L(H)\mathcal L (H') of a Krull monoid HH' with finite class group GG', prime divisors in all classes and Davenport constant D(G)=D(G)\mathsf D (G')=\mathsf D (G). Among others, we show that if GG is either cyclic of order m7m \ge 7 or an elementary 22-group of rank m16m-1 \ge 6, and GG' is any group which is non-isomorphic to GG but with Davenport constant D(G)=D(G)\mathsf D (G')=\mathsf D (G), then the systems L(H)\mathcal L (H) and L(H)\mathcal L (H') are incomparable.
