We develop a new technique for studying monomial ideals in the standard\npolynomial rings A[X1,\…,Xd] where A is a commutative ring with\nidentity. The main idea is to consider induced ideals in the semigroup ring\nR=A[ mathbbM1\≥ 0\×\⋯\× mathbbMd\≥ 0] where\n mathbbM1,\…, mathbbMd are non-zero additive subgroups of\n\ℝ. We prove that the set of non-zero finitely generated monomial\nideals in R has the structure of a metric space, and we prove that a version\nof Krull dimension for this setting is lower semicontinuous with respect to\nthis metric space structure. We also show how to use discrete techniques to\nstudy certain monomial ideals in this context.\n
