Terminology for a monoid $H$ s.t. $xy \in H^\times$ only if $x, y \in H^\times$
The title has it all. Is there any consolidated terminology for referring to a (multiplicative) monoid $H$ such that $xy \in H^\times$ (if and) only if $x, y \in H^\times$? Here is a short list of ...

Terminology for a monoid $(H, \cdot)$ s.t. $ax=a$ or $xa =a$ only if $x$ is a unit
Let $(H, \cdot)$ be a (multiplicative) monoid. Is there any consolidated name for the following Property $\text{(P)}$, or for the class of monoids for which it is satisfied?
$$\text{(P) If }\,xy = x\...

Values attained by the coheight of $(H \setminus H^\times)^k$ as a function of $H$ and $k$
Edit (Apr 24, 2017). I'm updating this post in the light of the latest developments of a related thread.
Let $H$ be a multiplicatively written, commutative monoid, and set $M := H \setminus H^\times$,...

Weak ideal systems $r$ for which the $r$-coheight satisfies a kind of triangle inequality
Let $H$ be a multiplicatively written, commutative monoid with identity $1_H$, and let $\mathcal P(H)$ be the power set of $H$. If $X, Y \subseteq H$, we will set $$XY := \{xy: x \in X,\, y \in Y\}.$$

Which monoids can be realized as the monoid of ideals of a commutative monoid?
Let $H$ be a commutative monoid (written multiplicatively). We say that a set $I \subseteq H$ is an ideal of $H$ if $IH = I$. The set $\mathcal I(H)$ of all ideals of $H$ is made into a (commutative) ...

If $H$ is essentially equimorphic to $K$, then is $H$ atomic only if so is $K$?
I will first state my question, and then give all the relevant definitions.
Q. Let $H$ and $K$ be monoids, and assume $H$ is essentially equimorphic to $K$. Is it true that $H$ is atomic only if so ...

If $H$ is commutative and unit-cancellative, then so is the monoid of non-empty ideals of $H$
Let $H$ be a (multiplicatively written) commutative monoid with identity $1_H$. Given $X, Y \subseteq H$, we take
$$XY := \{xy: x \in X,\, y \in Y\}.$$
We call a set $I \subseteq H$ an ideal of $H$ ...
