Geometric and combinatorial aspects of submonoids of a finite-rank free commutative monoid (Q2197204)

The author considers commutative, cancellative, reduced monoids \(M\) (written additively), which can be embedded into a finite-dimensional vector space \(V\) over an ordered field. This paper gives a nice overview how arithmetic properties of \(M\) (unique factorization, half-factorial, other-half-factorial, primary, finitary) correspond to geometric properties of the cone, which is generated by \(M\) inside \(V\).
