Full elasticity conjecture for cyclic rational semirings

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let r∈Q>1∖Nr\in\mathbb{Q}_{>1}\setminus\mathbb{N}, and write r=n(r)/d(r)r=\mathsf{n}(r)/\mathsf{d}(r) in lowest terms. Let SrS_r be the cyclic rational semiring generated by the geometric sequence determined by rr. A monoid is fully elastic if its set of elasticities is all of Q≥1∪{∞}\mathbb{Q}_{\geq 1}\cup\{\infty\}. Full elasticity conjecture. If

n(r)>d(r)+1,\mathsf{n}(r)>\mathsf{d}(r)+1,

then SrS_r is fully elastic. The preceding result establishes density of the set of elasticities under the same condition on rr, but full elasticity requires realizing every permitted elasticity and remains open.
