Abstract: Let $H$ be a commutative semigroup with unit element such that every non-unit can be written as a finite product of irreducible elements (atoms). For every $kinmathbbN$, let $mathscr{U}_k(H)$ denote the set of all $ellinmathbbN$ with the property that there are atoms $u_1,ldots,u_k,v_1,ldots,v_{ell}$ such that $u_{1}cdotldotscdot{u}_k=v_{1}cdotldotscdot{v}_{ell}$ (thus, $mathscr{U}_k(H)$ is the union of all sets of lengths containing $k$). The Structure Theorem for Unions states that, for all sufficiently large $k$, the sets $mathscr{U}_k(H)$ are almost arithmetical progressions with the same difference and global bound. We present a new approach to this result in the framework of arithmetic combinatorics, by deriving, for suitably defined families of subsets of the non-negative integers, a characterization of when the Structure Theorem holds. This abstract approach allows us to verify, for the first time, the Structure Theorem for a variety of possibly non-cancellative semigroups, including semigroups of (not necessarily invertible) ideals and semigroups of modules. Furthermore, we provide the very first example of a semigroup (actually, a locally tame Krull monoid) that does not satisfy the Structure Theorem.
