Archimedean classes in an ordered semigroup. IV
Let G be a finite group, and let . A Cayley di-graph Γ = Cay(G,S) of G relative to S is a di-graph with a vertex set G such that, for x,y ∈ G, the pair (x,y) is an arc if and only if . Further, if , then Γ is undirected. Γ is conected if and only if G = ⟨s⟩. A Cayley (di)graph Γ = Cay(G,S) is called normal if the right regular representation of G is a normal subgroup of the automorphism group of Γ. A graph Γ is said to be arc-transitive, if Aut(Γ) is transitive on an arc set. Also, a graph Γ...
A ring R is called an E-ring if every endomorphism of R⁺, the additive group of R, is multiplication on the left by an element of R. This is a well known notion in the theory of abelian groups. We want to change the "E" as in endomorphisms to an "A" as in automorphisms: We define a ring to be an A-ring if every automorphism of R⁺ is multiplication on the left by some element of R. We show that many torsion-free finite rank (tffr) A-rings are actually E-rings. While we have an example of a mixed...
Let be an order in an algebraic number field. If is a principal order, then many explicit results on its arithmetic are available. Among others, is half-factorial if and only if the class group of 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.
