This paper is concerned with the inquiry into the structure of $R_+(s)$ for complex numbers $s$. Particularly interesting is the case of algebraic $s$ which are not non-negative integers. This question is motivated by the study of functors between Deligne categories $\\textrm{Rep}(S_t)$ (and also $\\textrm{Rep}(\\textrm{GL}_t)$) for $t \\in \\mathbb C\\backslash \\mathbb Z_+$. We prove that this semiring is a ring if and only if $s$ is an algebraic number that is not a nonnegative integer. Furthermore, we show that all algebraic integers generated by $s,$ i.e. all elements of $\\mathcal O_{\\mathbb Q(s)},$ are also contained in this ring. We also give two explicit representations of $R_+(s)$ for both algebraic integers and general algebraic numbers $s.$ One is in terms of inequalities for the valuations with respect to certain prime ideals and the other is in terms of explicitly constructed generators. Moreover, this leads to a particularly simple description of $R_+(s)$ for both quadratic algebraic numbers and roots of unity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-10-27T17:53:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "deligne categories", "algebraic integers", "nonnegative integer linear combinations", "quadratic algebraic numbers", "general algebraic numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
