Recent investigations on the catenary degrees of numerical monoids have demonstrated that this invariant is a powerful tool in understanding the factorization theory of this class of monoids. Although useful, the catenary degree is largely…
The catenary degree of an element $n$ of a cancellative commutative monoid $S$ is a nonnegative integer measuring the distance between the irreducible factorizations of $n$. The catenary degree of the monoid $S$, defined as the supremum…
In this paper we present the set of saturated numerical semigroups with prime multiplicity. We also characterize the catenary degree of these semigroups that we acquire. The catenary degree of a numerical semigroup is the variant which…
Studying ceratin combinatorial properties of non-unique factorizations have been a subject of recent literatures. Little is known about two combinatorial invariants, namely the catenary degree and the tame degree, even in the case of…
The catenary degree is an invariant that measures the distance between factorizations of elements within a numerical semigroup. In general, all possible catenary degrees of the elements of the numerical semigroups occur as the catenary…
In this paper, we study various factorization invariants of arithmetical congruence monoids. The invariants we investigate are the catenary degree, a measure of the maximum distance between any two factorizations of the same element, the…
Nonunique factorization in commutative monoids is often studied using factorization invariants, which assign to each monoid element a quantity determined by the factorization structure. For numerical monoids (co-finite, additive submonoids…
Let $\mathbb{N} \mathcal{A}$ be the monoid generated by $\mathcal{A} = {\mathbf{a}_1, ..., \mathbf{a}_n} \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^d.$ We introduce the homogeneous catenary degree of $\mathbb{N} \mathcal{A}$ as the smallest $N \in \mathbb N$…
Factoring ideals in integral domains is a central topic in multiplicative ideal theory. In the present paper we study monoids of ideals and consider factorizations of ideals into multiplicatively irreducible ideals. The focus is on the…
We determine the set of catenary degrees, the set of distances, and the unions of sets of lengths of the monoid of nonzero ideals and of the monoid of invertible ideals of orders in quadratic number fields.
The investigation and classification of non-unique factorization phenomena have attracted some interest in recent literature. For finitely generated monoids, S.T. Chapman and P. Garcia-Sanchez, together with several co-authors, derived a…

Arithmetical invariants---such as sets of lengths, catenary and tame degrees---describe the non-uniqueness of factorizations in atomic monoids. We study these arithmetical invariants by the monoid of relations and by presentations of the…
Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with finite class group $G$ such that every class contains a prime divisor (for example, a ring of integers in an algebraic number field or a holomorphy ring in an algebraic function field). The catenary degree…
Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with class group $G$. Then $H$ is factorial if and only if $G$ is trivial. Sets of lengths and sets of catenary degrees are well studied invariants describing the arithmetic of $H$ in the non-factorial case. In…
A numerical monoid is a cofinite additive submonoid of the nonnegative integers, while a Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of the nonnegative cone of the rational numbers. Using that a Puiseux monoid is an increasing union of copies…
Transfer Krull monoids are a recent concept including all commutative Krull domains and also, for example, wide classes of non-commutative Dedekind domains. We show that transfer Krull monoids are fully elastic (i.e., every rational number…
In the last two decades there has been a wealth of results determining the precise value of the catenary degree and the tame degree. Mostly, however, only for very special classes of monoids and domains. In the present work we now show that…
In this paper we solve in the positive the question of whether any finite set of integers, containing the zero, is the mapping degree set between two oriented closed connected manifolds of the same dimension. We extend this question to the…
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…
