Unique Factorization in Invariant Power Series Rings

چکیده
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 of order p, k has characteristic p, and V is an indecomposable kG-module of dimension r with 1 ≤ r ≤ p, we show that the invariant power series form a unique factorization domain if and only if r is equal to 1, 2, p− 1 or p. This contradicts a conjecture of Peskin.

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...

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 کاملUnique Factorization in Generalized Power Series Rings
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 h...
