讲座内容:

We introduce the category AtoMon of atomic monoids and atom-preserving homomorphisms as a non-full subcategory of the usual category of monoids and monoid homomorphisms. By computing all limits and colimits, we show that AtoMon is complete and cocomplete. We also explore arithmetic aspects of products and coproducts, deriving explicit formulas for key invariants related to factorization lengths. This work aims to build a bridge between category theory and factorization theory, offering a categorical framework for the study of atomic factorizations.
