The behavior of factorization properties in various ring extensions is a central theme in commutative algebra. Classically, the UFDs are (completely) integrally closed and tend to behave well in standard ring extensions, with the notable…
The classical Hilbert specialization property is a field-theoretic tool ensuring that polynomial irreducibility over a field is preserved under specialization of some of the variables. We develop an integral counterpart by introducing the…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is a cofinite, additively-closed subset of the nonnegative integers that contains $0$. In this paper, we initiate the study of atomic density, an asymptotic measure of the proportion of irreducible elements in a…
An integral domain is called atomic if every nonzero nonunit element factors into irreducibles. On the other hand, an integral domain is said to satisfy the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) if every ascending chain of…
Factorizations of monoids are studied. Two necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of so-called descent 1-cocyles for a monoid to be factorized through two submonoids are found. A full classification of those factorizations of a monoid…
We introduce fusion algebras with not necessarily positive structure constants and without identity element. We prove that they are semisimple when tensored with $\mathbb{C}$ and that their characters satisfy orthogonality relations. Then…
A ring is *unit-additive* if a sum of units is always either a unit or nilpotent. For example, $k[X]$ and $k[X]/(X^2)$ are unit-additive, but $\mathbb Z$ is not. We prove a wide-ranging theorem about unit-additivity in semigroup rings,…
A factorization of an element $x$ in a monoid $(M, \cdot)$ is an expression of the form $x = u_1^{z_1} \cdots u_k^{z_k}$ for irreducible elements $u_1, \ldots, u_k \in M$, and the length of such a factorization is $z_1 + \cdots + z_k$. We…
A number field $K$ is called \emph{monogenic} if its ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}_K$ can be expressed as a simple ring extension $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$ for some $\alpha \in \mathbb{Z}_K$. A monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$…
Given a Noetherian ring $A$, the collection of all integrally closed ideals in $A$ which contain a nonzerodivisor, denoted $ic(A)$, forms a cancellative monoid under the operation $I*J=\overline{IJ}$, the integral closure of the product.…
This paper contains the results collected so far on polynomial composites in terms of many basic algebraic properties. Since it is a polynomial structure, results for monoid domains come in here and there. The second part of the paper…
We study the structure of the commutative multiplicative monoid $\mathbb N_0[x]^*$ of all the non-zero polynomials in $\mathbb Z[x]$ with non-negative coefficients. We show that $\mathbb N_0[x]^*$ is not a half-factorial monoid and is not a…
An integral domain $D$ is called a \emph{prime-divisor-finite domain} (PDF-domain) if every nonzero element has only finitely many nonassociate prime divisors. A domain $D$ is said to be a \emph{tightly prime-divisor-finite domain}…
We describe a simple approach to factorize non-commutative (nc) polynomials, that is, elements in free associative algebras (over a commutative field), into atoms (irreducible elements) based on (a special form of) their minimal linear…
In this paper we study the concept of radical factorization in the context of abstract ideal theory in order to obtain a unified approach to the theory of factorization into radical ideals and elements in the literature of commutative…
Using polynomial evaluation, we give some useful criteria to answer questions about divisibility of polynomials. This allows us to develop interesting results concerning the prime elements in the domain of coefficients. In particular, it is…
Let A be an associative algebra with identity over a field k. An atomistic subsemiring R of the lattice of subspaces of A, endowed with the natural product, is a subsemiring which is a closed atomistic sublattice. When R has no zero…
An integral domain is said to have the IDF property when every non-zero element of it has only a finite number of non-associate irreducible divisors. A counterexample has already been found showing that IDF property does not necessarily…
For a set $S$ of quadratic polynomials over a finite field, let $C$ be the (infinite) set of arbitrary compositions of elements in $S$. In this paper we show that there are examples with arbitrarily large $S$ such that every polynomial in…
The main purpose of this paper is investigating classes of acts that are injective relative to all embeddings with indecomposable domains or codomains. We give some homological classifications of monoids in light of such kinds of…
