Extensions of the notion of a class group and a block monoid associated to a Krull monoid with torsion class group are introduced and investigated. Instead of assigning to a Krull monoid only one abelian group (the class group) and one monoid of zero-sum sequences (the block monoid), we assign to it a recursively defined family of abelian groups, the first being the class group, and do alike for the block monoid. These investigations are motivated by the aim of gaining a more detailed understanding of the arithmetic of Krull monoids, including Dedekind and Krull domains, both from a technical and conceptual point of view. To illustrate our method, some first arithmetical applications are presented.

Let M be a Krull monoid. Then every element of M may be written as a finite product of irreducible elements. If for every a ∈ M, each two factorizations of a have the same number of irreducible elements, then M is called half-factorial. Using a property of element exponentiation, we provide a new characterization of half-factoriality, valid for all Krull monoids whose class group has torsion-free rank at most one.

Let$H$be a Krull monoid with finite class group$G$such that every class contains a prime divisor (for example, a ring of integers in an algebraic number field or a holomorphy ring in an algebraic function field). The catenary degree$\mathsf{c}(H)$of$H$is the smallest integer$N$with the following property: for each$a\in H$and each pair of factorizations$z,z^{\prime }$of$a$, there exist factorizations$z=z_{0},\dots ,z_{k}=z^{\prime }$of$a$such that, for each$i\in [1,k]$,$z_{i}$arises from$z_{i-1}$by replacing at most$N$atoms from$z_{i-1}$by at most$N$new atoms. To exclude trivial cases, suppose that$|G|\geq 3$. Then the catenary degree depends only on the class group$G$and we have$\mathsf{c}(H)\in [3,\mathsf{D}(G)]$, where$\mathsf{D}(G)$denotes the Davenport constant of$G$. The cases when$\mathsf{c}(H)\in \{3,4,\mathsf{D}(G)\}$have been previously characterized (see Theorem A). Based on a characterization of the catenary degree determined in the paper by Geroldingeret al.[‘The catenary degree of Krull monoids I’,J. Théor. Nombres Bordeaux23(2011), 137–169], we determine the class groups satisfying$\mathsf{c}(H)=\mathsf{D}(G)-1$. Apart from the extremal cases mentioned, the precise value of$\mathsf{c}(H)$is known for no further class groups.

AbstractEvery Krull monoid has a transfer homomorphism onto a monoid of zero-sum sequences over a subset of its class group. This transfer homomorphism is a crucial tool for studying the arithmetic of Krull monoids. In the present paper, we strengthen and refine this tool for Krull monoids with finitely generated class group.
