A note on the maximal semilattice of an R*NC-semigroup decomposition
Let K be an algebraic number field with non-trivial class group G and be its ring of integers. For k ∈ ℕ and some real x ≥ 1, let denote the number of non-zero principal ideals with norm bounded by x such that a has at most k distinct factorizations into irreducible elements. It is well known that behaves for x → ∞ asymptotically like . We prove, among other results, that for all integers n₁,n₂ with 1 < n₁|n₂.
