Using polynomial evaluation, we give some useful criteria to answer questions about divisibility of polynomials. This allows us to develop interesting results concerning the prime elements in the domain of coefficients. In particular, it is…

Let L be the Leavitt path algebra of an arbitrary directed graph E over a field K. This survey article describes how this highly non-commutative ring L shares a number of the characterizing properties of a Dedekind domain or a Pr\"ufer…

An integral domain (or a commutative cancellative monoid) is atomic if every nonzero nonunit element is the product of irreducibles, and it satisfies the ACCP if every ascending chain of principal ideals eventually stabilizes. The interplay…

We demonstrate a class of local (Noetherian) unique factorization domains (UFDs) that are noncatenary at infinitely many places. In particular, if $A$ is in our class of UFDs, then the prime spectrum of $A$ contains infinitely many disjoint…

We study functions from a unique factorization monoid to a field. The set of all such functions is a commutative ring isomorphic to a ring of formal power series over the field, with indeterminates indexed by the prime elements of the…

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…

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…

A necessary condition for uniqueness of factorizations of elements of a finite group $G$ with factors belonging to a union of some conjugacy classes of $G$ is given. This condition is sufficient if the number of factors belonging to each…

Let $F$ be a field of $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of an odd prime. Fix $n = (q+1)/2$. For each $s \in F$, we describe all the irreducible factors over $F$ of the polynomial $g_s(y): = y^n + (1-y)^n -s$, and we give a necessary and…

We present a generalization of a polynomial factorization algorithm that works with ideals in maximal orders of global function fields. The method presented in this paper is intrinsic in the sense that it does not depend on the embedding of…

We consider the smallest subring $D$ of $\mathbb{R}(X)$ containing every element of the form $1/(1+x^2)$, with $x\in \mathbb{R}(X)$. $D$ is a Pr\"ufer domain called the minimal Dress ring of $\mathbb{R}(X)$. In this paper, addressing a…

An element $g$ of a finite group $G$ is said to be vanishing in $G$ if there exists an irreducible character $\chi$ of $G$ such that $\chi(g)=0$; in this case, $g$ is also called a zero of $G$. The aim of this paper is to obtain structural…

We define Dedekind semidomains as semirings in which each nonzero fractional ideal is invertible. Then we find some equivalent condition for semirings to being Dedekind. For example, we prove that a Noetherian semidomain is Dedekind if and…

Let $R$ be a Dedekind ring, $\mathfrak{p}$ a nonzero prime ideal of $R$, $P\in R[X]$ a monic irreducible polynomial, and $K$ the quotient field of $R$. We give in this paper a lower bound for the $\mathfrak{p}$-adic valuation of the index…

We show that in certain Pr\"ufer domains, each nonzero ideal $I$ can be factored as $I=I^v \Pi$, where $I^v$ is the divisorial closure of $I$ and $\Pi$ is a product of maximal ideals. This is always possible when the Pr\"ufer domain is…

The representation theory of finite groups began with Frobenius's factorization of Dedekind's group determinant. In this paper, we consider the case of the semigroup determinant. The semigroup determinant is nonzero if and only if the…

Fix any field $K$ of characteristic $p$ such that $[K:K^p]$ is finite. We discuss excellence for Noetherian domains whose fraction field is $K$, showing for example, that $R$ is excellent if and only if the Frobenius map is finite on $R$.…

For a given family $(G_i)_{i \in \N}$ of finitely generated abelian groups, we construct a Dedekind domain $D$ having the following properties. \begin{enumerate} \item $\Pic(D) \cong \bigoplus_{i \in \N}G_i$. \item For each $i \in \N$,…

We provide an irreducibility test and factoring algorithm (with some qualifications) for formal power series in the unique factorization domain $R[[X]]$, where $R$ is any principal ideal domain. We also classify all integral domains arising…

A classical tool in the study of real closed fields are the fields $K((G))$ of generalised power series (i.e., formal sums with well-ordered support) with coefficients in a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and exponents in an ordered abelian…
