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…

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…

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…

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…

Arithmetical invariants of local quaternion orders

Nicholas R. Baeth, Daniel Smertnig

Let be a DVR, let be its quotient field, and let be a -order in a quaternion algebra over . The elasticity of is $ρ(R^\bullet) = \sup\{\, k/l : u_…

Factorizations of Elements in Noncommutative Rings: A Survey

Daniel Smertnig

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

Nicholas R. Baeth, Daniel Smertnig

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…

Cyclically presented modules, projective covers and factorizations

Alberto Facchini, Daniel Smertnig, Nguyen Khanh Tung

We investigate projective covers of cyclically presented modules, characterizing the rings over which every cyclically presented module has a projective cover as the rings that…

Sets of lengths in maximal orders in central simple algebras

Daniel Smertnig

Let be a holomorphy ring in a global field , and a classical maximal -order in a central simple algebra over . We study sets of lengths of factor…
