Density of type-dependent sets in Krull monoids with analytic structure

We describe structural and quantitative properties of type-dependent sets in monoids with suitable analytic structure, including simple analytic monoids, introduced by Kaczorowski (Semigroup Forum 94:532–555, 2017. 10.1007/s00233-016-9778-9), and formations, as defined by Geroldinger and Halter-Koch (Non-unique factorizations, Chapman and Hall, Boca Raton, 2006. 10.1201/9781420003208). We propose the notions of rank and degree to measure the size of a type-dependent set in structural terms. We also consider various notions of regularity of type-dependent sets, related to the analytic properties of their zeta functions, and obtain results on the counting functions of these sets.

On transfer homomorphisms of Krull monoids

Every 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.

Factorization theory in commutative monoids

This 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.
