Reference request: a cousin to the log semiring
Let $f$ be strictly increasing on $\mathbb{R}$. Then $x \oplus y := f^{-1}(f(x)+f(y))$ gives rise to a strict symmetric monoidal ($\Rightarrow$ commutative monoid) structure on $(\mathbb{R},\ge)$ with ...

A semifield of characteristic zero may have a finite number of elements
A commutative semiring $(S, +, \cdot, 0, 1)$ with unity is said to be a semifield if for all $a, b\in S$, $a+b=0$ implies that $a=0$ and $b=0$, and $a.b=0$ implies that either $a=0$ or, $b=0$.
I ...

Extending $\Bbb N$ to a semiring with isomorphic additive and multiplicative structure
Seen $(\Bbb N,+,\cdot)$ as a semiring, is it possible to extend it to a semiring $(R,+,\cdot)$ so that the additive and multiplicative monoids become isomorphic? This means there is some monoid-...

Semiring naturally associated to any monoid?
For any monoid $M$, we can naturally construct a semiring $S$ as follows:
Let the additive monoid of $S$ be the free commutative monoid on $M$
Let the multiplicative monoid of $S$ be $M$
Then, if ...
