On the automorphisms of numerical power monoids
Abstract
Let $H$ be a numerical monoid, that is, a cofinite submonoid of $\mathbb N$ (the non-negative integers under addition). Denote by $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},0}(H)$ the monoid obtained by endowing the family of all finite subsets of $H$ containing $0$ with the operation of setwise addition induced by $H$ on its power set. Tringali and Yan [JCTA, 2025] have recently established that $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},0}(\mathbb N)$ has a unique non-trivial automorphism, and conjectured that the automorphism group of $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},0}(H)$ is trivial whenever $H \ne \mathbb N$. We prove this conjecture and, as a byproduct, give a new proof of the Tringali--Yan theorem.
