It has been recently discovered by Bell, Heinle and Levandovskyy that a large class of algebras, including the ubiquitous $G$-algebras, are finite factorization domains (FFD for short). Utilizing this result, we contribute an algorithm to…

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 numerical semigroup $S$ is an additively-closed set of non-negative integers, and a factorization of an element $n$ of $S$ is an expression of $n$ as a sum of generators of $S$. It is known that for a given numerical semigroup $S$, the…

An associative ring with 1 is said to be semilocal provided it is semisimple artinian modulo its Jacobson radical, that is, modulo its Jacobson radical it is isomorphic to a finite product of matrices over division rings. Modules with a…

In the realm of supercommutative superrings, this article investigates the unique factorization of elements. We build upon recent findings by Naser et. al. concerning similar results in noncommutative symmetric rings with zerodivisors,…

The semiring of discrete dynamical systems is a simple algebraic model for modularity in deterministic systems. The objects of the semiring are finite transformations (viewed as directed graphs and regarded up to isomorphism), the sum of…

Let $R$ be a domain and $B=R[x_1^{\pm1},\ldots,x_n^{\pm1}]$ the Laurent polynomial ring over $R$. In this paper we study pre-factorially closed (pfc) and quasi-factorially closed (qfc) $R$-subalgebras of $B$, which generalize the notion of…

Let $S$ be a nonnegative semiring of the real line, called here a positive semiring. We study factorizations in both the additive monoid $(S,+)$ and the multiplicative monoid $(S\setminus\{0\}, \cdot)$. In particular, we investigate when,…

A subfactor is an inclusion $N \subset M$ of von Neumann algebras with trivial centers. The simplest example comes from the fixed points of a group action $M^G \subset M$, and subfactors can be thought of as fixed points of more general…

We study a numerical semigroup ring as an algebra over another numerical semigroup ring. The complete intersection property of numerical semigroup algebras is investigated using factorizations of monomials into minimal ones. The goal is to…

Let $S$ be an integral domain with field of fractions $F$ and let $A$ be an $F$-algebra having an $S$-stable basis. We prove the existence of an $S$-subalgebra $R$ of $A$ lying over $S$ whose localization with respect to $S$ is $A$ (we call…

We show that every finite poset is isomorphic to a saturated subset of the spectrum of a Noetherian unique factorization domain. In addition, we show that every finite poset is isomorphic to a saturated subset of the spectrum of a…

It is proved that if $D$ is a $UFD$ and $R$ is a $D$-algebra, such that $U(R)\cap D\neq U(D)$, then $R$ has a maximal subring. In particular, if $R$ is a ring which either contains a unit $x$ which is not algebraic over the prime subring of…

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 introduce the notion of quantum duplicates of an (associative, unital) algebra, motivated by the problem of constructing toy-models for quantizations of certain configuration spaces in quantum mechanics. The proposed (algebraic) model…

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…

An (additive) commutative monoid is called atomic if every given non-invertible element can be written as a sum of atoms (i.e., irreducible elements), in which case, such a sum is called a factorization of the given element. The number of…

Given a certain factorization property of a ring $R$, we can ask if this property extends to the polynomial ring over $R$ or vice versa. For example, it is well known that $R$ is a unique factorization domain if and only if $R[X]$ is a…

Let A be an integral domain with field of fractions K. We investigate the structure of the overrings B of A (contained in K) that are well-centered on A in the sense that each principal ideal of B is generated by an element of A. We…

Let $T$ be a subset of a ring $A$, and let $M$ be an $A$-module. We study the additive subgroups $F$ of $M$ such that, for all $x \in M$, if $tx \in F$ for some $t \in T$, then $x \in F$. We call any such subset $F$ of $M$ a $T$-factroid of…
