Non-unique factorizations in orders of global fields.
We study numerical semigroups with the property that if is the multiplicity of and is the least element of congruent with modulo , then . The set of numerical semigroups with this property and fixed multiplicity is bijective with an affine semigroup and consequently it can be described by a finite set of parameters. Invariants like the gender, type, embedding dimension and Frobenius number are computed for several families of this kind of numerical semigroups.
Let M be a commutative cancellative monoid. The set Δ(M), which consists of all positive integers which are distances between consecutive factorization lengths of elements in M, is a widely studied object in the theory of nonunique factorizations. If M is a Krull monoid with cyclic class group of order n ≥ 3, then it is well-known that Δ(M) ⊆ {1,..., n-2}. Moreover, equality holds for this containment when each class contains a prime divisor from M. In this note, we consider the question of determining...
