Abstract: Oftentimes the elements of a ring or semigroup $H$ can be written as finite products of irreducible elements, say $a=u_{1}cdotldotscdot{u}_k=v_{1}cdotldotscdot{v}_{ell}$, where the number of irreducible factors is distinct. The set $mathsfL(a)subsetmathbbN$ of all possible factorization lengths of $a$ is called the set of lengths of $a$, and the full system $mathcalL(H)=mathsfL(a)midainH$ is a well-studied means of describing the non-uniqueness of factorizations of $H$. We provide a friendly introduction, which is largely self-contained, to what is known about systems of sets of lengths for rings of integers of algebraic number fields and for transfer Krull monoids of finite type as their generalization.
