We show that every finite semilattice can be represented as an atomized semilattice, an algebraic structure with additional elements (atoms) that extend the semilattice's partial order. Each atom maps to one subdirectly irreducible…
We characterize affine semigroups having one Betti element and we compute some relevant non-unique factorization invariants for these semigroups. As an example, we particularize our description to numerical semigroups.
Although in general there is no meaningful concept of factorization in fields, that in free associative algebras (over a commutative field) can be extended to their respective free field (universal field of fractions) on the level of…
In this paper we study the system of sets of lengths of non-finitely generated atomic Puiseux monoids (a Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of $\mathbb{Q}_{\ge 0}$). We begin by presenting a BF-monoid $M$ with full system of sets of…
Usually a name of the category is inherited from the name of objects. However more relevant for a category of objects and morphisms is an algebra of morphisms. Therefore we prefer to say a category of graphs if every morphism is a graph. In…
A cancellative commutative monoid is atomic if every non-invertible element factors into irreducibles. Under certain mild conditions on a positive algebraic number $\alpha$, the additive monoid $M_\alpha$ of the evaluation semiring…
Let $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathbb Z^m \oplus T$ be a finitely generated and reduced monoid. In this paper we develop a general strategy to study the set of elements in $\mathcal S$ having at least two factorizations of the same length,…
A numerical set $T$ is a subset of $\mathbb N_0$ that contains $0$ and has finite complement. The atom monoid of $T$ is the set of $x \in \mathbb N_0$ such that $x+T \subseteq T$. Marzuola and Miller introduced the anti-atom problem: how…
Arithmetical invariants---such as sets of lengths, catenary and tame degrees---describe the non-uniqueness of factorizations in atomic monoids. We study these arithmetical invariants by the monoid of relations and by presentations of the…
We introduce and investigate the category of factorization of a multiplicative, commutative, cancellative, pre-ordered monoid $A$, which we denote $\mathcal{F}(A)$. The objects of $\mathcal{F}(A)$ are factorizations of elements of $A$, and…
A 1-factorization $\mathcal{M} = \{M_1,M_2,\ldots,M_n\}$ of a graph $G$ is called perfect if the union of any pair of 1-factors $M_i, M_j$ with $i \ne j$ is a Hamilton cycle. It is called $k$-semi-perfect if the union of any pair of…
It is well-known that the factorization properties of a domain are reflected in the structure of its group of divisibility. The main theme of this paper is to introduce a topological/graph-theoretic point of view to the current…
A subset $S$ of an integral domain is called a semidomain if the pairs $(S,+)$ and $(S\setminus\{0\}, \cdot)$ are commutative and cancellative semigroups with identities. The multiplication of $S$ extends to the group of differences…
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…
In this paper, we continue the program initiated by I. Beck's now classical paper concerning zero-divisor graphs of commutative rings. After the success of much research regarding zero-divisor graphs, many authors have turned their…
We extend a few fundamental aspects of the classical theory of non-unique factorization, as presented in Geroldinger and Halter-Koch's 2006 monograph on the subject, to a non-commutative and non-cancellative setting, in the same spirit of…
If $M$ is an atomic monoid and $x$ is a nonzero non-unit element of $M$, then the set of lengths $\mathsf{L}(x)$ of $x$ is the set of all possible lengths of factorizations of $x$, where the length of a factorization is the number of…
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…
We enumerate factorisations of the complete bipartite graph into spanning semiregular graphs in several cases, including when the degrees of all the factors except one or two are small. The resulting asymptotic behaviour is seen to…
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…
