Abstract: For a positive real alpha, we can consider the additive submonoid M of the real line that is generated by the nonnegative powers of alpha. When alpha is transcendental, M is a unique factorization monoid. However, when alpha is algebraic, M may not be atomic, and even when M is atomic, it may contain elements having more than one factorization (i.e., decomposition as a sum of irreducibles). The main purpose of this paper is to study the phenomenon of multiple factorizations inside M. When alpha is algebraic but not rational, the arithmetic of factorizations in M is highly interesting and complex. In order to arrive to that conclusion, we investigate various factorization invariants of M, including the sets of lengths, sets of Betti elements, and catenary degrees. Our investigation gives continuity to recent studies carried out by Chapman, et al. in 2020 and by Correa-Morris and Gotti in 2022.
