The purpose of this note is a wide generalization of the topological results of various classes of ideals of rings, semirings, and modules, endowed with Zariski topologies, to r-strongly irreducible r-ideals (endowed with Zariski topologies) of monoids, called terminal spaces. We show that terminal spaces are T₀, quasi-compact, and every nonempty irreducible closed subset has a unique generic point. We characterize rarithmetic monoids in terms of terminal spaces. Finally, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the subspaces of r-maximal r-ideals and r-prime r-ideals to be dense in the corresponding terminal spaces.

Let R be a factorial domain. In this work we investigate the connections between the arithmetic of Int(R) (i.e., the ring of integer-valued polynomials over R) and its monadic submonoids (i.e., monoids of the form {$g{\in}Int(R){\mid}g{\mid}_{Int(R)}f^k$ for some $k{\in}{\mathbb{N}}_0$} for some nonzero $f{\in}Int(R)$). Since every monadic submonoid of Int(R) is a Krull monoid it is possible to describe the arithmetic of these monoids in terms of their divisor-class group. We give an explicit description of these divisor-class groups in several situations and provide a few techniques that can be used to determine them. As an application we show that there are strong connections between Int(R) and its monadic submonoids. If $R={\mathbb{Z}}$ or more generally if R has sufficiently many "nice" atoms, then we prove that the infinitude of the elasticity and the tame degree of Int(R) can be explained by using the structure of monadic submonoids of Int(R).
