Indecomposable baric algebras (Q2365686): Difference between revisions

The authors introduce the concept of indecomposable baric algebras and prove a Krull-Schmidt theorem for algebras satisfying ascending and descending chain conditions. They analyze some well-known examples of genetic algebras with regard to their indecomposability. Counterexamples are given to three natural statements about indecomposability.
