AbstractWe introduce a newinvariant describing the structure of sets of lengths in atomicmonoids and domains. For an atomic monoid H, let Δρ(H) be the set of all positive integers d that occur as differences of arbitrarily long arithmetical progressions contained in sets of lengths havingmaximal elasticity ρ(H). We study Δρ(H) for transfer Krull monoids of finite type (including commutative Krull domains with finite class group) with methods from additive combinatorics, and also for a class of weakly Krull domains (including orders in algebraic number fields) for which we use ideal theoretic methods.

AbstractThis is a survey on factorization theory. We discuss finitely generated monoids (including affine monoids), primary monoids (including numerical monoids), power sets with set addition, Krull monoids and their various generalizations, and the multiplicative monoids of domains (including Krull domains, rings of integer-valued polynomials, orders in algebraic number fields) and of their ideals. We offer examples for all these classes of monoids and discuss their main arithmetical finiteness properties. These describe the structure of their sets of lengths, of the unions of sets of lengths, and their catenary degrees. We also provide examples where these finiteness properties do not hold.

Principal Order

Let R be an order in an algebraic number field. If R is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, R is half-factorial if and only if the class group of R has at most two elements. Much less is known for non-principal orders. Using a new semigroup theoretical approach, we study half-factoriality and further arithmetical properties for non-principal orders in algebraic number fields.

Ring Of Integers

Let R be the ring of integers of a number field K with class group G. It is classical that R is a unique factorization domain if and only if G is the trivial group; and the finite abelian group G is generally considered as a measure of the failure of unique factorization in R. The first arithmetic description of rings of integers with non-trivial class groups was given in 1960 by L. Carlitz (1). He proved that G is a group of order ≤ two if and only if any two factorizations of an element of R into irreducible elements have the same number of factors. In ((6), p. 469, problem 32) W. Narkiewicz asked for an arithmetic characterization of algebraic number fields K with class numbers ≠ 1, 2. This problem was solved for certain class groups with orders ≤ 9 in (2), and for the case that G is cyclic or a product of k copies of a group of prime order in (5). In this note we solve Narkiewicz's problem in general by giving arithmetical characterizations of a ring of integers whose class group G is any given finite abelian group.

The Ideal

It is a classical result, deriving from the Gaussian theory of genera of integral binary quadratic forms, that there exist only finitely many imaginary quadratic fields for which the ideal class group is a group of exponent two. This finiteness has been shown to extend to all those totally imaginary quadratic extensions of any fixed totally real algebraic number field. In this paper we put forward the conjecture that there exist only finitely many imaginary abelian algebraic number fields which have ideal class groups of exponent two, and we examine the extent to which existing methods can be brought to bear on this conjecture. One consequence of the validity of the conjecture would be a proof of the existence of finite abelian groups which do not occur as the ideal class group of any imaginary abelian field.
