A note on Matsuda monoids
A commutative, torsion-free, cancellative monoid $M$ is called a Matsuda monoid if for every indivisible element $\alpha$ in $M$, the polynomial $X^{\alpha} - 1$ is irreducible in $F[X; M]$ for any field $F$, where $F[X; M]$ denotes the ring of all polynomials with coefficients in $F$ and exponents in $M$. In this talk, we will discuss recent work on Matsuda monoids that leads to questions in analytic number theory.
