The eventual interval conjecture for unions of sets of lengths

About 12 years old · traced to

Let HH be a Krull monoid as in Theorem 5.3, with associated set GPG_P, and suppose in addition that

GP=Gr+∪−Gr+.G_P=G_r^+\cup -G_r^+.

For k∈Nk\in\mathbb N, let Uk(H)\mathcal U_k(H) denote the union of the sets of lengths of elements of HH having a factorization of length kk. The eventual interval conjecture. There exists k∗∈Nk^*\in\mathbb N such that, for each k≥k∗k\geq k^*, Uk(H)\mathcal U_k(H) is an interval. This conjecture strengthens the first assertion of Theorem 5.3 by asserting that the additive constant can be taken to be M=0M=0 for all sufficiently large kk. Its resolution is not supplied here and remains open.
