Abstract
Let D be an integral domain, Γ be a torsion-free grading monoid with quotient group G, and D[Γ] be the semigroup ring of Γ over D. We show that if G is of type (0, 0, 0,…), then D[Γ] is a weakly factorial domain if and only if D is a weakly factorial GCD-domain and Γ is a weakly factorial GCD-semigroup. Let ℝ be the field of real numbers and Γ be the additive semigroup of nonnegative rational numbers. We also show that Γ is a weakly factorial GCD-semigroup, but ℝ[Γ] is not a weakly factorial domain.
