β¦ Synopsis
We discuss factorization of the Dyson-Schwinger equations using the Lie-and Hopf algebra of graphs. The structure of those equations allows to introduce a commutative associative product on 1PI graphs. In scalar field theories, this product vanishes if and only if one of the factors vanishes. Gauge theories are more subtle: integrality relates to gauge symmetries.

Let R be an integral domain. In this paper, we introduce a sequence of factorization properties which are weaker than the classical UFD criteria. We give several examples of atomic nonfactorial monoids which satisfy these conditions, but show for several classes of integral domains of arithmetical i
