Supertropical Monoids III: Factorization and splitting covers

Zur Izhakian, Manfred Knebusch

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The category STROPm of supertropical monoids, whose morphisms are transmissions, has the full-reflective subcategory STROP of commutative semirings. In this setup, quotients are determined directly by equivalence relations, as ideals are not applicable for monoids, leading to a new approach to factorization theory. To this end, tangible factorization into irreducibles is obtained through fiber contractions and their hierarchy. Fiber contractions also provide different quotient structures, associated with covers and types of splitting covers.
