We present a new fragment of axiomatic set theory for pure sets and for the iteration of power sets within given transitive sets. It turns out that this formal system admits an interesting hierarchy of models with true membership relation…
Monads can be interpreted as encoding formal expressions, or formal operations in the sense of universal algebra. We give a construction which formalizes the idea of "evaluating an expression partially": for example, "2+3" can be obtained…
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…
We show that the compositions of positive integers may be interpreted in terms of powers of some power series, over arbitrary commutative ring. As consequences, several closed formulas for the compositions as well as for the generalized…
Let $H$ be a (multiplicatively written) monoid. The family $\mathcal{P}_{\text{fin},1}(H)$ of finite subsets of $H$ containing the identity element is itself a monoid when endowed with setwise multiplication induced by $H$. Tringali and Yan…
We investigate multiplicative groups consisting entirely of singular alternating sign matrices (ASMs), and present several constructions of such groups. It is shown that every finite group is isomorphic to a group of singular ASMs, with a…
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…
Matrices over the ring of formal power series are considered. Normal forms with respect to various sub-groups of the two-sided transformations are constructed. The construction is based on the special property of the action: it induces a…
This paper investigates the class of finitely presented monoids defined by homogeneous (length-preserving) relations from a computational perspective. The properties of admitting a finite complete rewriting system, having finite derivation…
The main purpose of this paper is to popularize Danzer's power complex construction and establish some new results about covering maps between two power complexes. Power complexes are cube-like combinatorial structures that share many…
We will prove bi-interpretability of the arithmetic $\N = \langle N, +,\cdot, 0, 1\rangle$ and the weak second order theory of $\N$ with the free monoid $\mathbb{M}_X$ of finite rank greater than 1 and with a non-trivial partially…
A monoid $M$ is called surjunctive if every injective cellular automata with finite alphabet over $M$ is surjective. We show that all finite monoids, all finitely generated commutative monoids, all cancellative commutative monoids, all…
Every mathematician is familiar with the beautiful structure of finite commutative groups. What is less well known is that finite commutative semigroups also have a neat and well-described structure. We prove this in an efficient fashion.…
A Puiseux monoid is an additive submonoid of the nonnegative cone of rational numbers. Although Puiseux monoids are torsion-free rank-one monoids, their atomic structure is rich and highly complex. For this reason, they have been important…
Let $P$ be a finitely generated commutative semiring. It was shown recently that if $P$ is a parasemifield (i.e. the multiplicative reduct of $P$ is a group) then $P$ cannot contain the positive rationals $\mathbb{Q}^+$ as its subsemiring.…
We consider polynomial maps described by so-called "(multivariate) linearized polynomials". These polynomials are defined using a fixed prime power, say q. Linearized polynomials have no mixed terms. Considering invertible polynomial maps…
Numerical monoids (cofinite, additive submonoids of the non-negative integers) arise frequently in additive combinatorics, and have recently been studied in the context of factorization theory. Arithmetical numerical monoids, which are…
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,…
We investigate complement-finite submonoids of the monoid of nonnegative integer points of a unipotent linear algebraic group $G$. These monoids are in general noncommutative but they specialize to the generalized numerical monoids of…
Monogenity is a classical area of algebraic number theory that continues to be actively researched. This paper collects the results obtained over the past few years in this area. Several of the listed results were presented at a series of…
