A sequence $S = g_1 \\cdot \\ldots \\cdot g_{\\ell}$ over $G$ is a ($\\Gamma$-)weighted zero-sum sequence if there are $\\gamma_1, \\ldots, \\gamma_{\\ell} \\in \\Gamma$ such that $\\gamma_1 (g_1) + \\ldots + \\gamma_{\\ell} (g_{\\ell})=0$. We construct transfer homomorphisms from norm monoids (of Galois algebraic number fields with Galois group $\\Gamma$) and from monoids of positive integers, represented by binary quadratic forms, to monoids of weighted zero-sum sequences. Then we study algebraic and arithmetic properties of monoids of weighted zero-sum sequences.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-02-24T12:20:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20M13", "11B50", "11B75", "11E12", "11R27" ], "keywords": [ "weighted zero-sum sequence", "binary quadratic forms", "galois number fields", "norm monoids", "galois algebraic number fields" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
