Torsion–almost-divisibility conjecture for finitely generated commutative semirings

Let SS be a finitely generated commutative semiring. The additive semigroup S(+)S(+) is the semigroup consisting of the elements of SS under addition.

Torsion–almost-divisibility conjecture. The semigroup S(+)S(+) is torsion if and only if S(+)S(+) is almost-divisible.

This conjecture asks whether almost-divisibility characterizes torsion in the additive semigroups of finitely generated commutative semirings. It is presented as a weaker analogue of divisibility, which is equivalent to idempotency for additive semigroups of finitely generated commutative parasemifields; its resolution is not indicated here.
