Abstract: A (not necessarily commutative) Krull monoid---as introduced by Wauters---is defined as a completely integrally closed monoid satisfying the ascending chain condition on divisorial two-sided ideals. We study the structure of these Krull monoids, both with ideal theoretic and with divisor theoretic methods. Among others we characterize normalizing Krull monoids by divisor theories. Based on these results we give a criterion for a Krull monoid to be a bounded factorization monoid, and we provide arithmetical finiteness results in case of normalizing Krull monoids with finite Davenport constant.


Krull monoids were introduced in the commutative case by \textit{L. G. Chouinard} II [Can. J. Math. 33, 1459-1468 (1981; Zbl 0453.13005)] and in the non-commutative case by \textit{P. Wauters} [Commun. Algebra 12, 1751-1765 (1984; Zbl 0545.16008)]. They are completely integrally closed monoids satisfying the ascending chain condition on divisorial two-sided ideals. The present paper deals with non-commutative Krull monoids and contains a detailed study of their properties and structure using the divisor theoretic approach. Examples are given to show the relation between Krull monoids and multiplicative semigroups of Krull rings. In particular it is shown (Prop. 5.1) that if \(H\) is the monoid of regular elements in a prime Goldie ring \(R\), then \(H\) is a Krull monoid if and only if \(R\) is a Krull ring. The last section is devoted to questions of factorization lengths in atomic Krull monoids. Bounded factorization monoids are characterized, and a sufficient condition is given for the structure theorem for sets of factorization lengths to hold in a Krull monoid (Th. 6.5).
