Mahler series with multiplicative coefficient sequences

Jason Bell, Daniel Smertnig

We prove that every Mahler series, over a field of characteristic , with multiplicative coefficients is regular in the sense of Allouche and Shallit. We also obtain an explicit…

Divide and Transfer: Non-Unique Factorizations Beyond Commutativity

Daniel Smertnig

Unique factorization fails in many rings and monoids, but divisor and transfer homomorphisms provide tools to understand non-unique factorizations. In this expository article, we f…

Factoriality and Class Groups of Upper Cluster Algebras and Finite Laurent Intersection Rings: A Computational Approach

Mara Pompili, Daniel Smertnig

We study factoriality and the class groups of locally acyclic cluster algebras. To do so, we introduce a new class of rings called finite Laurent intersection rings (FLIRs), which…

Pumping-Like Results for Copyless Cost Register Automata and Polynomially Ambiguous Weighted Automata

Filip Mazowiecki, Antoni Puch, Daniel Smertnig

In this work we consider two rich subclasses of weighted automata over fields: polynomially ambiguous weighted automata and copyless cost register automata. Primarily we are intere…

Primes and absolutely or non-absolutely irreducible elements in atomic domains

Victor Fadinger, Sophie Frisch, Sarah Nakato +2

We give examples of atomic integral domains satisfying each of the eight logically possible combinations of existence or non-existence of the following kinds of elements: 1) primes…

Factoring through monomial representations: arithmetic characterizations and ambiguity of weighted automata

Antoni Puch, Daniel Smertnig

We characterize group representations that factor through monomial representations, respectively, block-triangular representations with monomial diagonal blocks, by arithmetic prop…

Monoid algebras and graph products

Wilfried Imrich, Igor Klep, Daniel Smertnig

In this note, we extend results about unique roots and cancellation of finite disconnected graphs with respect to the Cartesian, the strong and the direct product…

A monoid-theoretical approach to infinite direct-sum decompositions of modules

Zahra Nazemian, Daniel Smertnig

Let be a class of modules over a ring , closed under direct sums over index sets of cardinality and isomorphisms, and such that the isomorphism classes form a s…

Duality of Lattices Associated to Left and Right Quotients

Jason Bell, Daniel Smertnig, Hellis Tamm

We associate lattices to the sets of unions and intersections of left and right quotients of a regular language. For both unions and intersections, we show that the lattices we pro…

Computing the linear hull: Deciding Deterministic? and Unambiguous? for weighted automata over fields

Jason P. Bell, Daniel Smertnig

The (left) linear hull of a weighted automaton over a field is a topological invariant. If the automaton is minimal, the linear hull can be used to determine whether or not the aut…

On noncommutative bounded factorization domains and prime rings

Jason P. Bell, Ken Brown, Zahra Nazemian +1

A ring has bounded factorizations if every cancellative nonunit can be written as a product of atoms and there is a bound on the lengths of such factorizations. Th…

-finite multivariate series with arithmetic restrictions on their coefficients

Jason Bell, Daniel Smertnig

A multivariate, formal power series over a field is a Bézivin series if all of its coefficients can be expressed as a sum of at most elements from a finitely generated subg…

Lattices over Bass rings and graph agglomerations

Nicholas R. Baeth, Daniel Smertnig

We study direct-sum decompositions of torsion-free, finitely generated modules over a (commutative) Bass ring through the factorization theory of the corresponding monoid $T(R)…

A height gap theorem for coefficients of Mahler functions

Boris Adamczewski, Jason Bell, Daniel Smertnig

We study the asymptotic growth of coefficients of Mahler power series with algebraic coefficients, as measured by their logarithmic Weil height. We show that there are five differe…

Noncommutative rational Pólya series

Jason Bell, Daniel Smertnig

A (noncommutative) Pólya series over a field is a formal power series whose nonzero coefficients are contained in a finitely generated subgroup of . We show that rati…

Definite orders with locally free cancellation

Daniel Smertnig, John Voight

We enumerate all orders in definite quaternion algebras over number fields with the Hermite property; this includes all orders with the cancellation property for locally free modul…

On basic and Bass quaternion orders

Sara Chari, Daniel Smertnig, John Voight

A quaternion order O over a Dedekind domain R is Bass if every R-superorder is Gorenstein, and O is basic if it contains an integrally closed quadratic R-order. In this article, we…

Factoriality and class groups of cluster algebras

Ana Garcia Elsener, Philipp Lampe, Daniel Smertnig

Locally acyclic cluster algebras are Krull domains. Hence their factorization theory is determined by their (divisor) class group and the set of classes containing height-1 prime i…

Factorizations of Elements in Noncommutative Rings: A Survey

We survey results on factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducible elements) in noncommutative rings. The point of view in this survey is motivated by the commutative…

Every abelian group is the class group of a simple Dedekind domain

Daniel Smertnig

A classical result of Claborn states that every abelian group is the class group of a commutative Dedekind domain. Among noncommutative Dedekind prime rings, apart from PI rings, t…

Factorization theory: From commutative to noncommutative settings

We study the non-uniqueness of factorizations of non zero-divisors into atoms (irreducibles) in noncommutative rings. To do so, we extend concepts from the commutative theory of no…
