Résumé

{For a non-unit $a$ of an atomic monoid $H$ we call $$L_H(a) = \{k\in {\mathbb N} \mid a = u_1 \ldots u_k \hbox{ with irreducible } u_i\in H\}$$ the set of lengths of $a$. Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with infinite divisor class group such that each divisor class is the sum of a bounded number of prime divisor classes of $H$. We investigate factorization properties of $H$ and show that $H$ has sets of lengths containing large gaps. Finally we apply this result to finitely generated algebras over perfect fields with infinite divisor class group.
