Unique Factorization in Generalized Power Series Rings

چکیده
Let K be a field of characteristic zero and let K((R≤0)) denote the ring of generalized power series (i.e., formal sums with well-ordered support) with coefficients in K, and non-positive real exponents. Berarducci (2000) constructed an irreducible omnific integer, in the sense of Conway (2001), by first proving that an element of K((R≤0)) that is not divisible by a monomial and whose support has order type ω (or ωω α for some ordinal α) must be irreducible. In this paper, we consider elements of K((R≤0)) with support of order type ω2. The irreducibility of these elements cannot be deduced solely from the order type of their support and, after developing new tools for studying these elements, we exhibit both reducible and irreducible elements of this type. We further prove that all elements whose support has order type ω2 and which are not divisible by a monomial factor uniquely into irreducibles. This provides, in the ring K((R≤0)), a class of reducible elements for which we have unique factorization into irreducibles.

Unique Factorization in Invariant Power Series Rings
Let G be a finite group, k a perfect field, and V a finite dimensional kG-module. We let G act on the power series k[[V ]] by linear substitutions and address the question of when the invariant power series k[[V ]] form a unique factorization domain. We prove that for a permutation module for a p-group in characteristic p, the answer is always positive. On the other hand, if G is a cyclic group...

Introduction Suppose that is a commutative ring with identity, is a unitary -module and is a multiplicatively closed subset of . Factorization theory in commutative rings, which has a long history, still gets the attention of many researchers. Although at first, the focus of this theory was factorization properties of elements in integral domains, in the late nineties the theory was gener...
متن کاملFactorial and Noetherian Subrings of Power Series Rings
Let F be a field. We show that certain subrings contained between the polynomial ring F [X] = F [X1, · · · , Xn] and the power series ring F [X][[Y ]] = F [X1, · · · , Xn][[Y ]] have Weierstrass Factorization, which allows us to deduce both unique factorization and the Noetherian property. These intermediate subrings are obtained from elements of F [X][[Y ]] by bounding their total X-degree abo...
متن کاملSimplicity of skew generalized power series rings
A skew generalized power series ring R[[S, ω]] consists of all functions from a strictly ordered monoid S to a ring R whose support contains neither infinite descending chains nor infinite antichains, with pointwise addition, and with multiplication given by convolution twisted by an action ω of the monoid S on the ring R. Special cases of the skew generalized power series ring construction are...
