For a commutative cancellative monoid $M$, we introduce the notion of the length density of both a nonunit $x\in M$, denoted $\mathrm{LD}(x)$, and the entire monoid $M$, denoted $\mathrm{LD}(M)$. This invariant is related to three widely…

Let $H$ be a commutative semigroup with unit element such that every non-unit can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (atoms). For every $k \in \mathbb N$, let $\mathscr U_k (H)$ denote the set of all $\ell \in \mathbb N$…

For an atomic domain $D$, the $elasticity$ $\rho(D)$ of $D$ is defined as $\sup\{r/s: \pi_1\cdots \pi_r = \rho_1 \cdots \rho_s,~ \text{where each $\pi_i, \rho_j$ is irreducible}\}$; the elasticity provides a concrete measure of the failure…

Let $D$ be a DVR, let $K$ be its quotient field, and let $R$ be a $D$-order in a quaternion algebra $A$ over $K$. The elasticity of $R^\bullet$ is $\rho(R^\bullet) = \sup\{\, k/l : u_1\cdots u_k = v_1 \cdots v_l \text{ with $u_i$, $v_j$…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with finite class group $G$ such that every class contains a prime divisor. We consider the system $\mathcal L (H)$ of all sets of lengths of $H$ and study when $\mathcal L (H)$ contains or is contained in a system…

Let $D$ be a principal ideal domain with infinite spectrum such that for every nonzero prime ideal $M$ of $D$, the residue field $D/M$ is finite. Let $K$ be the quotient field of $D$. We investigate sets of lengths in the ring of…

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 $\mathcal{O}$ be an order in a central simple algebra $A$ over a number field. The elasticitity $\rho(\mathcal{O})$ is the supremum of all fractions $k/l$ such that there exists an non-zero-divisor $a \in \mathcal{O}$ that has…

Every Krull monoid has a transfer homomorphism onto a monoid of zero-sum sequences over a subset of its class group. This transfer homomorphism is a crucial tool for studying the arithmetic of Krull monoids. In the present paper, we…

Let $H$ be a cancellative commutative monoid, let $\mathcal{A}(H)$ be the set of atoms of $H$ and let $\widetilde{H}$ be the root closure of $H$. Then $H$ is called transfer Krull if there exists a transfer homomorphism from $H$ into a…

Length density is a recently introduced factorization invariant, assigned to each element $n$ of a cancellative commutative atomic semigroup $S$, that measures how far the set of factorization lengths of $n$ is from being a full interval.…

Let $A$ be a finite or countable alphabet and let $\theta$ be literal (anti)morphism onto $A^*$ (by definition, such a correspondence is determinated by a permutation of the alphabet). This paper deals with sets which are invariant under…

We carry out a detailed investigation of congruence half-factorial Krull monoids with finite cyclic class group and related problems. Specifically, we determine precisely all relatively large values that can occur as a minimal distance of a…

In this work, we are interested in characterizing typical (generic) dimensional properties of invariant measures associated with the full-shift system, $T$, in a product space whose alphabet is a countable set. More specifically, we show…

We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.

An enumerative invariant theory in Algebraic Geometry, Differential Geometry, or Representation Theory, is the study of invariants which 'count' $\tau$-(semi)stable objects $E$ with fixed topological invariants $[E]=\alpha$ in some…

We introduce the classes of descendingly flexible and descendingly alternative algebras over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We suggest a new method based on the sequence of differences between the dimensions of the linear spans of words,…

We prove that if a set is `large' in the sense of Erd\H{o}s, then it approximates arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in a strong quantitative sense. More specifically, expressing the error in the approximation in terms of the gap…

We consider some special type extensions of an arbitrary Lie algebra, which we call universal extensions. We show that these extensions are in one-to-one correspondence with finite dimensional associative commutative algebras. We also…

We study the arithmetic of seminormal $v$-noetherian weakly Krull monoids with nontrivial conductor which have finite class group and prime divisors in all classes. These monoids include seminormal orders in holomorphy rings in global…
