On monoids up to symmetry

Abstract

We study monoids in an infinite-dimensional setting that are invariant under the action of the infinite symmetric group Sym. Our main result establishes a local--global principle characterizing equivariant finite generation for arbitrary Sym-invariant monoids, extending earlier results that required additional assumptions. We further analyze local--global phenomena for other fundamental properties, including positivity, normality, seminormality, and simplicity. In addition, we obtain structural results for symmetric monoids, including characterizations of positivity and non-positivity, a description of their groups of units, and explicit formulas for the ranks of local symmetric monoids and stabilizing Sym-invariant chains.
