Ideal theory in commutative semigroups.
It is well known that an integral domain is a valuation domain if and only if it possesses only one finitary ideal system (Lorenzen -system of finite character). We prove an analogous result for root-closed (cancellative) monoids and apply it to give several new characterizations of Prüfer (multiplication) monoids and integral domains.
The tropical semifield, i.e., the real numbers enhanced by the operations of addition and maximum, serves as a base of tropical mathematics. Addition is an abelian group operation, whereas the maximum defines an idempotent semigroup structure. We address the question of the geometry of idempotent semigroups, in particular, tropical algebraic sets carrying the structure of a commutative idempotent semigroup. We show that commutative idempotent semigroups are contractible, that systems of tropical...
Let be a one-dimensional analytically irreducible ring and let be an integral ideal of . We study the relation between the irreducibility of the ideal in and the irreducibility of the corresponding semigroup ideal . It turns out that if is irreducible, then is irreducible, but the converse does not hold in general. We collect some known results taken from [5], [4], [3] to obtain this result, which is new. We finally give an algorithm to compute the components of an irredundant decomposition...
We develop problems of monotonic valuations of triads. A theorem on monotonic valuations of triads of the type is presented. We study, using the notion of the monotonic valuation, representations of ideals by monotone and subadditive mappings. We prove, for example, that there exists, for each ideal of the type on a set , a monotone and subadditive set-mapping on with values in non-negative rational numbers such that . Some analogical results are proved for ideals of the types and...
∗ The research of the author was supported by the Alexander v. Humboldt-Stiftung.The basic concepts are M -hyperidentities, where M is a monoid of hypersubstitutions. The set of all M -solid varieties of semigroups forms a complete sublattice of the lattice of all varieties of semigroups. We fix some specific varieties V of commutative semigroups and study the set of all M -solid subvarieties of V , in particular, if V is nilpotent.
