An atomic monoid $M$ is called a length-factorial monoid (or an other-half-factorial monoid) if for each non-invertible element $x \in M$ no two distinct factorizations of $x$ have the same length. The notion of length-factoriality was…
A semidomain is an additive submonoid of an integral domain that is closed under multiplication and contains the identity element. Although atomicity and divisibility in integral domains have been systematically investigated for more than…
We develop first steps in the study of factorizations of elements in ultraproducts of commutative cancellative monoids into irreducible elements. A complete characterization of the (multi-)sets of lengths in such objects is given. As…
An atomic monoid $M$ is called length-factorial if for every non-invertible element $x \in M$, no two distinct factorizations of $x$ into irreducibles have the same length (i.e., number of irreducible factors, counting repetitions). The…
We study arithmetic properties of factorizations of elements into products of generators, in monoids given with explicit presentations. After relating and comparing this perspective to the more usual approach of factoring into products of…
An integral domain $R$ is atomic if each nonzero nonunit of $R$ factors into irreducibles. In addition, an integral domain $R$ satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) if every increasing sequence of principal…
The ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) is almost always complementary to atomicity within integral domains: in fact, Cohn initially stated that these two conditions were equivalent. This assertion has been shown to be…
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…
We discuss various square-free factorizations in monoids in the context of: atomicity, ascending chain condition for principal ideals, decomposition, and a greatest common divisor property. Moreover, we obtain a full characterization of…
Rings of integer-valued polynomials are known to be atomic, non-factorial rings furnishing examples for both irreducible elements for which all powers factor uniquely (\emph{absolutely irreducibles}) and irreducible elements where some…
Let $F$ be a field, $p$ a prime number, $X$ an indeterminate over $F$, $D_n =F[X^{\frac{1}{p^n}}, X^{-\frac{1}{p^n}}]$ for each integer $n \geq 0$ and $D = \bigcup\limits_{n\in\mathbb{N}_0}D_n.$ Then $D$ is a one-dimensional B{\'e}zout…
An integral domain $D$ is called a finite factorization domain (FFD) if every nonzero nonunit element of $D$ has only finitely many non-associate divisors. In 1998, for an integral domain $D$ and a cancellative torsion-free monoid $S$ such…
For a positive real number $\alpha$, let $\mathbb{N}_0[\alpha,\alpha^{-1}]$ be the semiring of all real numbers $f(\alpha)$ for $f(x)$ lying in $\mathbb{N}_0[x,x^{-1}]$, which is the semiring of all Laurent polynomials over the set of…
A commutative cancellative monoid is atomic if every non-invertible element factors into irreducibles (also called atoms), while an integral domain is atomic if its multiplicative monoid is atomic. Back in the eighties, Gilmer posed the…
This is a survey on factorization theory. We discuss finitely generated monoids (including affine monoids), primary monoids (including numerical monoids), power sets with set addition, Krull monoids and their various generalizations, and…
We provide a characterization of the positive monoids (i.e., additive submonoids of the nonnegative real numbers) that satisfy the finite factorization property. As a result, we establish that positive monoids with well-ordered generating…
Let $M$ be a cancellative and commutative monoid. A non-invertible element of $M$ is called an atom (or irreducible element) if it cannot be factored into two non-invertible elements, while an atom $a$ of $M$ is called strong if $a^n$ has a…
A submonoid of the additive group $\mathbb{Q}$ is called a Puiseux monoid if it consists of nonnegative rationals. Given a monoid $M$, the set consisting of all nonempty finite subsets of $M$ is also a monoid under the Minkowski sum, and it…
We study some factorization properties of the idealization $R \mathop{(\! + \! )} M$ of a module $M$ in a commutative ring $R$ which is not necessarily a domain. We show that $R \mathop{(\! + \! )} M$ is ACCP if and only if $R$ is ACCP and…
