Abstract: Let $M$ be an atomic monoid and let $x$ be a non-unit element of $M$. The elasticity of $x$, denoted by $ho(x)$, is the ratio of its largest factorization length to its shortest factorization length, and it measures how far is $x$ from having a unique factorization. The elasticity $ho(M)$ of $M$ is the supremum of the elasticities of all non-unit elements of $M$. The monoid $M$ has accepted elasticity if $ho(M)=ho(m)$ for some $minM$. In this paper, we study the elasticity of Puiseux monoids (i.e., additive submonoids of $mathbb{Q}_{ge0}$). First, we characterize the Puiseux monoids $M$ having finite elasticity and find a formula for $ho(M)$. Then we classify the Puiseux monoids having accepted elasticity in terms of their sets of atoms. When $M$ is a primary Puiseux monoid, we describe the topology of the set of elasticities of $M$, including a characterization of when $M$ is a bounded factorization monoid. Lastly, we give an example of a Puiseux monoid that is bifurcus (that is, every nonzero element has a factorization of length at most $2$).

Review text

A Puiseux monoid, \(M\), is a submonoid of \((\mathbb{Q_\geq},+)\). Given an element \(x\in M\) and \(L(x)\) its set of lengths, the elasticity of \(x\) is \(\rho(x)=\frac{\sup L(x)}{\inf L(x)}\). We define \(\rho(M)=\sup_{x\in M}\rho(x)\). If there exists \(x\in M\) such that \(\rho(x)=\rho(M)\) the elasticity is accepted. In this paper, the authors study the elasticity of Puiseux monoids. In particular, they give a charactization of the elements \(x\in M\) such that \(\rho(x)=\rho(M)\) using the minimum and the maximum of the atoms of \(M\). Moreover, for primary Puiseux monoids, they prove that being a FF-monoid is equivalent to being a BF-monoid. Finally, they build an example of bifircus Puiseux monoid, i.e., a Puiseux monoid such that every non-atom element has a factorization of length two.
