If $H$ is a monoid and $a=u_1 \cdots u_k \in H$ with atoms (irreducible elements) $u_1, \ldots, u_k$, then $k$ is a length of $a$, the set of lengths of $a$ is denoted by $\mathsf L(a)$, and $\mathcal L(H)=\{\,\mathsf L (a) \mid a \in H…
For rings R with identity, we define a class of nonlinear higher order recurrences on unitary left R-modules that include linear recurrences as special cases. We obtain conditions under which a recurrence of order k+1 in this class is…
We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset $X$ of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with $\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X$ have…
In this paper, we address various aspects of divisibility by irreducibles in rings consisting of integer-valued polynomials. An integral domain is called atomic if every nonzero nonunit factors into irreducibles. Atomic domains that do not…
We consider the question of whether the injective modules generate the unbounded derived category of a ring as a triangulated category with arbitrary coproducts. We give an example of a non-Noetherian commutative ring where they don't, but…
In classical factorization theory, an integral domain is called \emph{atomic} if every nonzero nonunit element can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements. Here, we introduce and study a weaker notion of atomicity, which…
We prove a general theorem showing that iterated skew polynomial extensions of the type which fit the conditions needed by Cauchon's deleting derivations theory and by the Goodearl-Letzter stratification theory are unique factorisation…
Assuming that no family of polynomial-size Boolean circuits can factorize a constant fraction of all products of two $n$-bit primes, we show that the bounded arithmetic theory $\text{PV}_1$, even when augmented by the sharply bounded choice…
In recent years, centrally essential rings have been intensively studied in ring theory. In particular, they find applications in homological algebra, group rings, and the structural theory of rings. The class of essentially central rings…
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…
We give sufficient conditions, in terms of the existence of unbounded derivations satisfying certain properties, which ensure that a II$_1$ factor $M$ is prime or has at most one Cartan subalgebra. For instance, we prove that if there…
Unique factorization fails in many rings and monoids, but divisor and transfer homomorphisms provide tools to understand non-unique factorizations. In this expository article, we first explore these notions in the classical setting of…
A Noetherian reduced ring $A$ is called a birational derived splinter if for all proper birational maps $X\to\operatorname{Spec}(A)$, the canonical map $A\to Rf_*\mathcal{O}_X$ splits. In equal characteristic zero this property…
Let $M$ be a cancellative commutative monoid and call a submonoid $S$ of $M$ an undermonoid if $\G(S)=\G(M)$ inside the Grothendieck group of $M$. Gotti and Li asked whether the finite factorization property is hereditary once it is known…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete local ring containing the rationals to be the completion of a countable excellent local (Noetherian) domain. Furthermore, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete…
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…
In a Dedekind domain $D$, every non-zero proper ideal $A$ factors as a product $A=P_1^{t_1}\cdots P_k^{t_k}$ of powers of distinct prime ideals $P_i$. For a Dedekind domain $D$, the $D$-modules $D/P_i^{t_i}$ are uniserial. We extend this…
A subset $S$ of an integral domain $R$ is called a semidomain provided that the pairs $(S,+)$ and $(S, \cdot)$ are semigroups with identities. The study of factorizations in integral domains was initiated by Anderson, Anderson, and…
Much work has been done on generalized factorization techniques in integral domains, namely $\tau$-factorization. There has also been substantial progress made in investigating factorization in commutative rings with zero-divisors. This…
Let R* be an ideal-adic completion of a Noetherian integral domain R and let L be a subfield of the total quotient ring of R* such that L contains R. Let A denote the intersection of L with R*. The integral domain A sometimes inherits nice…
