The Catenary and Tame Degree in Finitely Generated Commutative Cancellative Monoids

چکیده
A. Problems involving chains of irreducible factorizations in atomic integral domains and monoids have been the focus of much recent literature. If S is a commutative cancellative atomic monoid, then the catenary degree of S (denoted c(S )) and the tame degree of S (denoted t(S )) are combinatorial invariants of S which describe the behavior of chains of factorizations. In this note, we describe methods to compute both c(S ) and t(S ) when M is a finitely generated commutative cancellative monoid.

متن کاملOn the set of catenary degrees of finitely generated cancellative commutative monoids
The catenary degree of an element s of a cancellative commutative monoid S is a nonnegative integer measuring the distance between the irreducible factorizations of s. The catenary degree of the monoid S, defined as the supremum over all catenary degrees occurring in S, has been heavily studied as an invariant of nonunique factorization. In this paper, we investigate the set C(S) of catenary de...
متن کاملPrimary ideals of finitely generated commutative cancellative monoids
We give a characterization of primary ideals of finitely generated commutative monoids and in the case of finitely generated cancellative monoids we give an algorithmic method for deciding if an ideal is primary or not. Finally we give some properties of primary elements of a cancellative monoid and an algorithmic method for determining the primary elements of a finitely generated cancellative ...
متن کاملArchimedean Components of Finitely Generated Commutative Monoids
We introduce the concept of presentation for the Archimedean components of finitely generated commutative monoids. Some properties like being cancellative, torsion freeness and separativity are studied under this new point of view.

AmonoidM 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 residually finite monoids, all finitely generated linear monoids, and all cancellative one-sided amenable monoids are surjunctive. We also prove that every limit of ma...
