Elasticity in certain block monoids via the Euclidean table
For an atomic domain , its elasticity is defined by : for irreducible . We study the elasticity of one-dimensional noetherian domains by means of the more subtle invariants defined by : for irreducible . As a main result we characterize all orders in algebraic number fields having finite elasticity. On the way, we obtain a series of results concerning the invariants and for monoids and integral domains which are of independent interest.
The question of embedding fields into central simple algebras over a number field was the realm of class field theory. The subject of embedding orders contained in the ring of integers of maximal subfields of such an algebra into orders in that algebra is more nuanced. The first such result along those lines is an elegant result of Chevalley [6] which says that with the ratio of the number of isomorphism classes of maximal orders in into which the ring of integers of can be embedded...
