A dimension group is a partially ordered countable group such that (1) every finite subset is contained in an ordered subgroup which is a finite direct power of Z and (2) the group has an order unit i.e. a positive element u such that every…

Let $H$ be a transfer Krull monoid over a subset $G_0$ of an abelian group $G$ with finite exponent. Then every non-unit $a\in H$ can be written as a finite product of atoms, say $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k$. The set $\mathsf L(a)$ of all…

This work extends the results known for the Delta sets of non-symmetric numerical semigroups with embedding dimension three to the symmetric case. Thus, we have a fast algorithm to compute the Delta set of any embedding dimension three…

We give a precise description of how the class group of a number field measures the failure of unique factorization in its ring of integers. Specifically, following ideas of Kummer, we determine the structure of all irreducible…

For a numerical monoid $\langle n_1, \dots, n_k \rangle$ minimally generated by $n_1, \dots, n_k \in \mathbb{N}$ with $n_1 < \cdots < n_k$, the longest and shortest factorization lengths of an element $x$, denoted as $L(x)$ and $\ell(x)$,…

Let $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathbb Z^m \oplus T$ be a finitely generated and reduced monoid. In this paper we develop a general strategy to study the set of elements in $\mathcal S$ having at least two factorizations of the same length,…

The coprime commutators $\gamma_j^*$ and $\delta_j^*$ were recently introduced as a tool to study properties of finite groups that can be expressed in terms of commutators of elements of coprime orders. They are defined as follows. Let $G$…

The goal of this paper is to develop a systematic method of locating the Mueller matrices within the class of the matrices of the real group SL(4, R). The main idea is to construct the general transformation of the group SL(4, R) (whose…

For certain negative rational numbers k0, called singular values, and associated with the symmetric group S_N on N objects, there exist homogeneous polynomials annihilated by each Dunkl operator when the parameter k = k0. It was shown by de…

This article considers the category of commutative medial magmas with cancellation, a structure that generalizes midpoint algebras and commutative semigroups with cancellation. In this category each object admits at most one internal monoid…

Some of the fundamental notions related to sets of lengths of Krull monoids with finite class group are discussed, and a survey of recent results is given. These include the elasticity and related notions, the set of distances, and the…

We study the arithmetic of monoids of regular elements of commutative rings with zero-divisors. Our focus is on Krull rings and on some of their generalizations (such as weakly Krull rings and C-rings). We establish sufficient conditions…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of cardinality $q$, $R=\mathbb{F}_{q}[u]/\langle u^4\rangle=\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}+u^2\mathbb{F}_{q}+u^3\mathbb{F}_{q}$ $(u^4=0)$ which is a finite chain ring, and $n$ be a positive integer…

The aim of this paper is to solve a problem proposed by Dominique Bourn: to provide a categorical-algebraic characterisation of groups amongst monoids and of rings amongst semirings. In the case of monoids, our solution is given by the…

It is a well known that, for odd $n$, the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$ equals the number of binary necklaces of length $n$. In this paper generalize this result in two directions. On…

A class of one-dimensional convolutional codes will be presented. They are all MDS codes, i. e., have the largest distance among all one-dimensional codes of the same length n and overall constraint length delta. Furthermore, their extended…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with class group $G$ such that every class contains a prime divisor (for example, rings of integers in algebraic number fields or holomorphy rings in algebraic function fields). For $k \in \mathbb N$, let $\mathcal…

We introduce the concept of isolated factorizations of an element of a commutative monoid and study its properties. We give several bounds for the number of isolated factorizations of simplicial affine semigroups and numerical semigroups.…

We study the non-uniqueness of factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducibles) in noncommutative rings. To do so, we extend concepts from the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations to a noncommutative setting. Several…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring and $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra. Given a positive integer $m$, or $m=\infty$, we say that a $k$-linear derivation $\delta$ of $A$ is $m$-integrable if it extends up to a Hasse--Schmidt derivation…
