Factorial Fermat curves over the rational numbers

Peter Malcolmson, Frank Okoh, Vasuvedan Srinivas (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A polynomial f in the set {Xⁿ+Yⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ-Zⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ+Zⁿ, Xⁿ +Yⁿ-1} lends itself to an elementary proof of the following theorem: if the coordinate ring over ℚ of f is factorial, then n is one or two. We give a list of problems suggested by this result.

Factorization in Krull monoids with infinite class group

Florian Kainrath (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let H be a Krull monoid with infinite class group and such that each divisor class of H contains a prime divisor. We show that for each finite set L of integers ≥2 there exists some h ∈ H such that the following are equivalent: (i) h has a representation h = u 1 · . . . · u k for some irreducible elements u i , (ii) k ∈ L.

Factorization properties of Krull monoids with infinite class group

Wolfgang Hassler (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For a non-unit a of an atomic monoid H we call L H ( a ) = k | a = u . . . u k w i t h i r r e d u c i b l e u i H the set of lengths of a. Let H be a Krull monoid with infinite divisor class group such that each divisor class is the sum of a bounded number of prime divisor classes of H. We investigate factorization properties of H and show that H has sets of lengths containing large gaps. Finally we apply this result to finitely generated algebras over perfect fields with infinite divisor class group.

Finite automata and algebraic extensions of function fields

Kiran S. Kedlaya (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We give an automata-theoretic description of the algebraic closure of the rational function field 𝔽 q ( t ) over a finite field 𝔽 q , generalizing a result of Christol. The description occurs within the Hahn-Mal’cev-Neumann field of “generalized power series” over 𝔽 q . In passing, we obtain a characterization of well-ordered sets of rational numbers whose base p expansions are generated by a finite automaton, and exhibit some techniques for computing in the algebraic closure; these include an adaptation to positive...

Finite mutation classes of coloured quivers

Hermund André Torkildsen (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that the mutation class of a coloured quiver arising from an m-cluster tilting object associated with a finite-dimensional hereditary algebra H, is finite if and only if H is of finite or tame representation type, or it has at most two simples. This generalizes a result known for cluster categories.
