ON FACTORIZATION IN BLOCK MONOIDS FORMED BY {1, a} IN Zn

چکیده
We consider the factorization properties of block monoids on Zn determined by subsets of the form Sa = {1, a}. We denote such a block monoid by Ba(n). In Section 2, we provide a method based on the division algorithm for determining the irreducible elements of Ba(n). Section 3 offers a method to determine the elasticity of Ba(n) based solely on the cross number. Section 4 applies the results of Section 3 to investigate the complete set of elasticities of Krull monoids with divisor class group Zn.

Let Zn be the finite cyclic group of order n and S ⊆ Zn. We examine the factorization properties of the Block Monoid B(Zn, S) when S is constructed using a method inspired by a 1990 paper of Erdős and Zaks. For such a set S, we develop an algorithm in Section 2 to produce and order a set {Mi} i=1 which contains all the non-primary irreducible Blocks (or atoms) of B(Zn, S). This construction yie...
متن کاملOn Factorization Properties of Semi-Regular Congruence Monoids
If given n ∈ N and Γ, a multiplicatively closed subset of Zn, then the set HΓ = {n ∈ Z : x ∈ N : x + nZ ∈ Γ} ∪ {1} is a multiplicative submonoid of N0 known as a congruence monoid. Much work has been done to characterize the factorial (every element has unique factorization) and half-factorial (lengths of irreducible factorizations of an element remain constant) properties of such objects. Our ...

Let M be a commutative cancellative monoid. The set ∆(M), which consists of all positive integers which are distances between consecutive irreducible factorization lengths of elements in M , is a widely studied object in the theory of nonunique factorizations. If M is a Krull monoid with divisor class group Zn, then it is well-known that ∆(M) ⊆ {1, 2, . . . , n − 2}. Moreover, equality holds fo...
متن کاملFactorization Properties of Congruence Monoids
Let n ∈ N, Γ ⊆ N and define Γn = {x ∈ Zn | x ∈ Γ} the set of residues of elements of Γ modulo n. If Γn is multiplicatively closed we may define the following submonoid of the naturals: HΓn = {x ∈ N | x = γ, γ ∈ Γn}∪{1} known as a congruence monoid (CM). Unlike the naturals, many CMs enjoy the property of non-unique factorization into irreducibles. This opens the door to the study of arithmetic ...
متن کاملFactorization in Topological Monoids
We sketch a theory of divisibility and factorization in topological monoids, where finite products are replaced by convergent products. The algebraic case can then be viewed as the special case of discretely topologized topological monoids. We define the topological factorization monoid, a generalization of the factorization monoid for algebraic monoids, and show that it is always topologically...
