A note on strong affine semigroups

This work introduces and studies strong affine semigroups, extending the notion of strong numerical semigroups to the higher-dimensional setting. We show that non-numerical strong affine semigroups present structural differences with respect to strong numerical semigroups. Special attention is devoted to strong $\mathcal C$-semigroups. We prove that the family of strong $\mathcal C$-semigroups with a given set of multiplicities $E$ admits a maximal element and has a tree structure. We characterize when this family is finite and provide an algorithm to compute all such semigroups up to a fixed genus. We also introduce the notion of special strong affine semigroups and obtain refined versions of several previous results. Finally, we study toric ideals arising from strong affine semigroups, determining their indispensable monomials and Betti elements for several families.

On some affine semigroups characterized by a finite-state automata

This work introduces a new kind of affine semigroups called $P$-semigroups. Within the framework of $\mathcal C$-semigroups, we define a finite-state automaton associated to them. Moreover, this automaton determines whether a $\mathcal C$-semigroup is a $P$-semigroup, which represents a bridge between affine semigroups and Discrete Mathematics. Furthermore, some algorithms for computing all the $P$-semigroups with a fixed Frobenius element, genus, or multiplicity are provided.

Affine semigroups without consecutive small elements

An $\mathcal{A}$-semigroup is a numerical semigroup without consecutive small elements. This work generalizes this concept to finite-complement submonoids of an affine cone $\mathcal{C}$. We develop algorithmic procedures to compute all $\mathcal{A}$-semigroups with a given Frobenius element (denoted by $\mathcal{A}(f)$), and with fixed Frobenius element and multiplicity. Moreover, we analyze the $\mathcal{A}(f)$-systems of generators. Furthermore, we study $\mathcal{A}$-numerical semigroups with maximal embedding dimension, fixed Frobenius number and multiplicity, providing an algorithm for their computation and a graphical classification.

A computational approach to the study of finite-complement submonids of an affine cone

Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer cone. A $\mathcal{C}$-semigroup $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ is an affine semigroup such that the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ is finite. Such $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups are central to our study. We develop new algorithms for computing $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups with specified invariants, including genus, Frobenius element, and their combinations, among other invariants. To achieve this, we introduce a new class of $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups, termed $\mathcal{B}$-semigroups. By fixing the degree lexicographic order, we also research the embedding dimension for both ordinary and mult-embedded $\mathbb{N}^2$-semigroups. These results are applied to test some generalizations of Wilf's conjecture.

On ideals of affine semigroups and affine semigroups with maximal embedding dimension

Let $S\subseteq \mathbb N^p$ be a semigroup, any $P\subseteq S$ is an ideal of $S$ if $P+S\subseteq P$, and an $I(S)$-semigroup is the affine semigroup $P\cup \{0\}$, with $P$ an ideal of $S$. We characterise the $I(S)$-semigroups and the ones that also are $\mathcal C$-semigroups. Moreover, some algorithms are provided to compute all the $I(S)$-semigroups satisfying some properties. From a family of ideals of $S$, we introduce the affine semigroups with maximal embedding dimension, characterising them and describing some families.

On the quotient of affine semigroups by a positive integer

This work delves into the {\it quotient of an affine semigroup by a positive integer}, exploring its intricate properties and broader implications. We unveil an {\it associated tree} that serves as a valuable tool for further analysis. Moreover, we successfully generalize several key irreducibility results, extending their applicability to the more general class of $\mathcal C$-semigroup quotients. To shed light on these concepts, we introduce the novel notion of an {\it arithmetic variety of affine semigroups}, accompanied by illuminating examples that showcase its power.

The complexity of a numerical semigroup

Let $S$ and $Δ$ be numerical semigroups. A numerical semigroup $S$ is an $\mathbf{I}(Δ)$-{\it semigroup} if $S\backslash \{0\}$ is an ideal of $Δ$. We will denote by $\mathcal{J}(Δ)=\{S \mid S \text{ is an $\mathbf{I}(Δ)$-semigroup} \}.$ We will say that $Δ$ is {\it an ideal extension of } $S$ if $S\in \mathcal{J}(Δ).$ In this work, we present an algorithm that allows to build all the ideal extensions of a numerical semigroup. We can recursively denote by $\mathcal{J}^0(\mathbb{N})=\mathbb{N},$ $\mathcal{J}^1(\mathbb{N})=\mathcal{J}(\mathbb{N})$ and $\mathcal{J}^{k+1}(\mathbb{N})=\mathcal{J}(\mathcal{J}^{k}(\mathbb{N}))$ for all $k\in \mathbb{N}.$ The complexity of a numerical semigroup $S$ is the minimun of the set $\{k\in \mathbb{N}\mid S \in \mathcal{J}^k(\mathbb{N})\}.$ In addition, we will give an algorithm that allows us to compute all the numerical semigroups with fixed multiplicity and complexity.

On the ideal of some sumset semigroups

A sumset semigroup is a non-cancellative commutative monoid obtained from the sumset of finite non-negative integer sets. In this work, an algorithm for computing the ideals associated with some sumset semigroups is provided. Using these ideals, we study some factorization properties of sumset semigroups and some additive properties of sumsets. This approach links computational commutative algebra with additive number theory.

Characterizing affine $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups

Let $\mathcal C \subset \mathbb N^p$ be a finitely generated integer cone and $S\subset \mathcal C$ be an affine semigroup such that the real cones generated by $\mathcal C$ and by $S$ are equal. The semigroup $S$ is called $\mathcal C$-semigroup if $\mathcal C\setminus S$ is a finite set. In this paper, we characterize the $\mathcal C$-semigroups from their minimal generating sets, and we give an algorithm to check if $S$ is a $\mathcal C$-semigroup and to compute its set of gaps. We also study the embedding dimension of $\mathcal C$-semigroups obtaining a lower bound for it, and introduce some families of $\mathcal C$-semigroups whose embedding dimension reaches our bound. In the last section, we present a method to obtain a decomposition of a $\mathcal C$-semigroup into irreducible $\mathcal C$-semigroups.

The Buchweitz set of a numerical semigroup

Let $A \subset {\mathbb Z}$ be a finite subset. We denote by $\mathcal{B}(A)$ the set of all integers $n \ge 2$ such that $|nA| > (2n-1)(|A|-1)$, where $nA=A+\cdots+A$ denotes the $n$-fold sumset of $A$. The motivation to consider $\mathcal{B}(A)$ stems from Buchweitz's discovery in 1980 that if a numerical semigroup $S \subseteq {\mathbb N}$ is a Weierstrass semigroup, then $\mathcal{B}({\mathbb N} \setminus S) = \emptyset$. By constructing instances where this condition fails, Buchweitz disproved a longstanding conjecture by Hurwitz (1893). In this paper, we prove that for any numerical semigroup $S \subset {\mathbb N}$ of genus $g \ge 2$, the set $\mathcal{B}({\mathbb N} \setminus S) $ is finite, of unbounded cardinality as $S$ varies.

On reducible non-Weierstrass semigroups

Weierstrass semigroups are well-known along the literature. We present a new family of non-Weierstrass semigroups which can be written as an intersection of Weierstrass semigroups. In addition, we provide methods for calculating non-Weierstrass semigroups with genus as large as desired.

Generalized strongly increasing semigroups

In this work we present a new class of numerical semigroups called GSI-semigroups. We see the relations between them and others families of semigroups and we give explicitly their set of gaps. Moreover, an algorithm to obtain all the GSI-semigroups up to a given Frobenius number is provided and the realization of positive integers as Frobenius numbers of GSI-semigroups is studied.

Union of sets of lengths of numerical semigroups

Let $S=\langle a_1,\ldots,a_p\rangle$ be a numerical semigroup, $s\in S$ and ${\sf z}(s)$ its set of factorizations. The set of length is denoted by ${\mathcal L}(s)=\{{\tt L}(x_1,\dots,x_p)\mid (x_1,\dots,x_p)\in{\sf Z}(s)\}$ where ${\tt L}(x_1,\dots,x_p)=x_1+\ldots+x_p$. From these definitions, the following sets can be defined ${\textsf W}(n)=\{s\in S\mid \exists x\in{\sf z}(s) \textrm{ such that } {\tt{L}}(x)=n\}$, $ν(n)=\cup_{s\in {\textsf W}(n)} {\mathcal L}(s)=\{l_1<l_2<\ldots< l_r\}$ and $Δν(n)=\{l_2-l_1,\ldots,l_r-l_{r-1}\}$. In this paper, we prove that the set $Δν(S)=\cup_{n\in{\mathbb{N}}}Δν(n)$ is almost periodic with period ${\rm lcm}(a_1,a_p)$.

A geometrical characterization of proportionally modular affine semigroups

A proportionally modular affine semigroup is the set of nonnegative integer solutions of a modular Diophantine inequality $f_1x_1+\cdots +f_nx_n \mod b \le g_1x_1+\cdots +g_nx_n$ where $g_1,\dots,g_n,$ $f_1,\ldots ,f_n\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $b\in\mathbb{N}$. In this work, a geometrical characterization of these semigroups is given. Moreover, some algorithms to check if a semigroup $S$ in $\mathbb{N}^n$, with $\mathbb{N}^n\setminus S$ a finite set, is a proportionally modular affine semigroup are provided by means of that geometrical approach.

On pseudo-Frobenius elements of submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^d$

In this paper we study those submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^d$ which a non-trivial pseudo-Frobenius set. In the affine case, we prove that they are the affine semigroups whose associated algebra over a field has maximal projective dimension possible. We prove that these semigroups are a natural generalization of numerical semigroups and, consequently, most of their invariants can be generalized. In the last section we introduce a new family of submonoids of $\mathbb{N}^d$ and using its pseudo-Frobenius elements we prove that the elements in the family are direct limits of affine semigroups.

Semigroups with fixed multiplicity and embedding dimension

Given $m\in \mathbb{N},$ a numerical semigroup with multiplicity $m$ is called packed numerical semigroup if its minimal generating set is included in $\{m,m+1,\ldots, 2m-1\}.$ In this work, packed numerical semigroups are used to built the set of numerical semigroups with fixed multiplicity and embedding dimension, and to create a partition in this set. Moreover, Wilf's conjecture is checked in the tree associated to some packed numerical semigroups.

An extension of Wilf's conjecture to affine semigroups

Let $\CaC\subset \Q^p$ be a rational cone. An affine semigroup $S\subset \CaC$ is a $\CaC$-semigroup whenever $(\CaC\setminus S)\cap \N^p$ has only a finite number of elements. In this work, we study the tree of $\CaC$-semigroups, give a method to generate it and study their subsemigroups with minimal embedding dimension. We extend Wilf's conjecture for numerical semigroups to $\CaC$-semigroups and give some families of $\CaC$-semigroups fulfilling the extended conjecture. We also check that other conjectures on numerical semigroups seem to be also satisfied by $\CaC$-semigroups.
