The addition on totally positive integers uniquely determines the totally real number field
Abstract
Let K be a totally real number field. We prove that the totally positive algebraic integers 𝒪K+ of K, viewed as an abstract additive semigroup, uniquely determine K. We also describe all the additive relations by giving a presentation of 𝒪K+ in terms of indecomposables as generators and a certain concrete set of generating relations. In fact, we obtain this presentation in a more general class of discrete semigroups which we call semilattices.
