Subatomicity in Rank-2 Lattice Monoids

Abstract

Let MM be a cancellative and commutative monoid (written additively). The monoid MM is atomic if every non-invertible element can be written as a sum of irreducible elements (often called atoms in the literature). Weaker versions of atomicity have been recently introduced and investigated, including the properties of being nearly atomic, almost atomic, quasi-atomic, and Furstenberg. In this paper, we investigate the atomic structure of lattice monoids, (i.e., submonoids of a finite-rank free abelian group), putting special emphasis on the four mentioned atomic properties.
