On algebraic and arithmetic properties of monoids of product-K sequences
Abstract
Let G be a group and K be a normal subgroup of G. A sequence over G is a finite collection of terms from G, where repetition is allowed, and the order is disregarded. A product-K sequence is a sequence whose terms can be ordered such that their product in G belongs to K. The set ℬK (G) of all product-K sequences over G forms a monoid, called the monoid of product-K sequences, under the operation of sequence concatenation. In this paper, we investigate the algebraic and arithmetic properties of the monoid ℬK (G). Among our main results, we provide precise characterizations of when ℬK (G) satisfies key properties, namely being (transfer) Krull, a (seminormal) C-monoid, or (half-)factorial. After that, we study the Isomorphism Problem for monoids of product-K sequences. Our results generalize existing frameworks, making them applicable to both the classical abelian and the more recently developed non-abelian settings.
