The characterization conjecture for Krull monoids by systems of sets of lengths

Let MM and MM' be Krull monoids with respective finite abelian class groups GG and GG', and suppose that each class of both groups contains at least one prime divisor. Assume also that D(G)4\mathsf{D}(G)\geq 4.

Characterization conjecture. If

L(M)=L(M),\mathcal{L}(M)=\mathcal{L}(M'),

then MMM\cong M'.

This is the Characterization Problem in factorization theory: whether systems of sets of lengths determine Krull monoids under these hypotheses. The source states that the conjecture remains open, although it is known under certain additional conditions.
