The rank of a commutative semigroup

Antonio M. Cegarra, Mario Petrich (2009)

Mathematica Bohemica

The concept of rank of a commutative cancellative semigroup is extended to all commutative semigroups S by defining rank S as the supremum of cardinalities of finite independent subsets of S . Representing such a semigroup S as a semilattice Y of (archimedean) components S α , we prove that rank S is the supremum of ranks of various S α . Representing a commutative separative semigroup S as a semilattice of its (cancellative) archimedean components, the main result of the paper provides several characterizations...

The tame degree and related invariants of non-unique factorizations

Franz Halter-Koch (2008)

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Ostraviensis

Local tameness and the finiteness of the catenary degree are two crucial finiteness conditions in the theory of non-unique factorizations in monoids and integral domains. In this note, we refine the notion of local tameness and relate the resulting invariants with the usual tame degree and the ω -invariant. Finally we present a simple monoid which fails to be locally tame and yet has nice factorization properties.
