A commutative ring R is stable if every non-zero ideal I of R is projective over its ring of endomorphisms. Motivated by a paper of Bass in the 1960s, stable rings have received wide attention in the literature ever since then. Much is known on the algebraic structure of stable rings and on the relationship of stability with other algebraic properties such as divisoriality and the 2-generator property. In the present paper, we study the arithmetic of stable integral domains, with a focus on arithmetic properties of semigroups of ideals of stable orders in Dedekind domains.
Let H be a cancellative commutative monoid, let $$\mathcal {A}(H)$$ A ( H ) be the set of atoms of H and let $$\widetilde{H}$$ H ~ be the root closure of H. Then H is called transfer Krull if there exists a transfer homomorphism from H into a Krull monoid. It is well known that both half-factorial monoids and Krull monoids are transfer Krull monoids. In spite of many examples and counterexamples of transfer Krull monoids (that are neither Krull nor half-factorial), transfer Krull monoids have not been studied systematically (so far) as objects on their own. The main goal of the present paper is to attempt the first in-depth study of transfer Krull monoids. We investigate how the root closure of a monoid can affect the transfer Krull property and under what circumstances transfer Krull monoids have to be half-factorial or Krull. In particular, we show that if $$\widetilde{H}$$ H ~ is a DVM, then H is transfer Krull if and only if $$H\subseteq \widetilde{H}$$ H ⊆ H ~ is inert. Moreover, we prove that if $$\widetilde{H}$$ H ~ is factorial, then H is transfer Krull if and only if $$\mathcal {A}(\widetilde{H})=\{u\varepsilon \mid u\in \mathcal {A}(H),\varepsilon \in \widetilde{H}^{\times }\}$$ A ( H ~ ) = { u ε ∣ u ∈ A ( H ) , ε ∈ H ~ × } . We also show that if $$\widetilde{H}$$ H ~ is half-factorial, then H is transfer Krull if and only if $$\mathcal {A}(H)\subseteq \mathcal {A}(\widetilde{H})$$ A ( H ) ⊆ A ( H ~ ) . Finally, we point out that characterizing the transfer Krull property is more intricate for monoids whose root closure is Krull. This is done by providing a series of counterexamples involving reduced affine monoids.
We study a zero-sum problem dealing with minimal zero-sum sequences of maximal length over finite abelian groups. A positive answer to this problem yields a structural description of sets of lengths with maximal elasticity in transfer Krull monoids over finite abelian groups.
