Primary full-system conjecture for finite-rank submonoids

About 8 years old · traced to

For d≥3d\geq 3, let Cd\mathcal{C}_d be the class of rank-dd submonoids of finite-rank free commutative monoids. A monoid has a full system of sets of lengths when its system of sets of lengths is Pfin\mathbb{P}_{\mathrm{fin}}, the collection of all finite subsets of positive integers. A monoid is primary when it has no nonempty proper divisor-closed submonoid.

Primary full-system conjecture. For every dimension d≥3d\geq 3, there exists a primary monoid in Cd\mathcal{C}_d having full system of sets of lengths.

The preceding construction gives, for every d≥3d\geq 3, a rank-dd monoid with full system of sets of lengths, but that monoid is not primary. The conjecture asks whether primarity can be achieved while retaining the same extremal factorization property.
