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…
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…
In this paper, we introduce a kind of decomposition of a finite group called a uniform group factorization, as a generalization of exact factorizations of a finite group. A group $G$ is said to admit a uniform group factorization if there…
New algorithms for prime factorization that outperform the existing ones or take advantage of particular properties of the prime factors can have a practical impact on present implementations of cryptographic algorithms that rely on the…
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…
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…
The aim of this paper is sketch a theory of divisibility and factorisation in topological monoids, where finite products are replaced by convergent products. The algebraic case can then be viewed as the special case of discretely…
For a positive real $\alpha$, we can consider the additive submonoid $M$ of the real line that is generated by the nonnegative powers of $\alpha$. When $\alpha$ is transcendental, $M$ is a unique factorization monoid. However, when $\alpha$…
The non-empty finite subsets of a multiplicatively written monoid form a monoid under setwise multiplication. The same holds for finite subsets containing the identity element. Partly due to their unusual arithmetic properties, these…
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…
Factorization algebras are local-to-global objects living on manifolds, and they arise naturally in mathematics and physics. Their local structure encompasses examples like associative algebras and vertex algebras; in these examples, their…
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…
We study processes with unstable particles in intermediate time-like states. It is shown that the amplitudes squared of such processes factor exactly in the framework of the model of unstable particles with continuous masses. Decay widths…
A ring has bounded factorizations if every cancellative nonunit $a \in R$ can be written as a product of atoms and there is a bound $\lambda(a)$ on the lengths of such factorizations. The bounded factorization property is one of the most…
This short note contains random thoughts about a factorization theorem for closure/interior operators on a powerset which is reminiscent to the notion of resolution for a monad/comonad. The question originated from formal topology but is…
Factorization -- a simple form of standardization -- is concerned with reduction strategies, i.e. how a result is computed. We present a new technique for proving factorization theorems for compound rewriting systems in a modular way, which…
We survey results on factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducible elements) in noncommutative rings. The point of view in this survey is motivated by the commutative theory of non-unique factorizations. Topics covered include…
We present a development of norms and discuss their relationship to factorization. In earlier work, the first named author introduced the notion of a normset, which is the image of the norm map. A normset is a monoid with its own…
We prove a localized big bang formation result, which does not require proximity of the initial data to any background solution. Suppose that we are given initial data for the Einstein--nonlinear scalar field equations on an open set $U…
We develop a theory of equivariant factorization algebras on varieties with an action of a connected algebraic group $G$, extending the definitions of Francis-Gaitsgory [FG] and Beilinson-Drinfeld [BD1] to the equivariant setting. We define…
