Apery Sets of Numerical Semigroups #

Let S be a numerical semigroup. We examine a particular subset of the Apery set of S and establish a correspondence between this subset and the holes of S . This correspondence allows us to establish conditions for S to be almost symmetric.     

Constructing Almost Symmetric Numerical Semigroups from Irreducible Numerical Semigroups

Every almost symmetric numerical semigroup can be constructed by removing some minimal generators from an irreducible numerical semigroup with its same Frobenius number.     

On additive semigroups starting parts

We present geometrical arguments suggesting that the part of the segment {0,1,…,N−1} covered by the additive semigroup generated by (a,b,c) between 0 and the Frobenius number N(a,b,c) should exceed λ V for some constant λ (which might be 1/3 or even more).      

Fundamental Gaps in Numerical Semigroups with Respect to Their Multiplicity

For a numerical semigroup, we introduce the concept of a fundamental gap with respect tothe multiplicity of the semigroup.The semigroup is fully determined by its multiplicity and these gaps.We study the case when a set of non-negative integers is the set of fundamental gaps with respect to themultiplicity of a numerical semigroup.Numerical semigroups with maximum and mininmm number ofthis kind of gaps are described.     

Numerical semigroups: Apéry sets and Hilbert series

Let a ₁,…,a _n be relatively prime positive integers, and let S be the semigroup consisting of all non-negative integer linear combinations of a ₁,…,a _n . In this paper, we focus our attention on AA-semigroups, that is semigroups being generated by almost arithmetic progressions. After some general considerations, we give a characterization of the symmetric AA-semigroups. We also present an efficient method to determine an Apéry set and the Hilbert series of an AA-semigroup. Dedicated to the memory of Ernst S. Selmer (1920–2006), whose calculations revealed the “Selmer group”.     

Fundamental Gaps in Numerical Semigroups with Respect to Their Multiplicity

For a numerical semigroup, we introduce the concept of a fundamental gap with respect to the multiplicity of the semigroup. The semigroup is fully determined by its multiplicity and these gaps.We study the case when a set of non-negative integers is the set of fundamental gaps with respect to the multiplicity of a numerical semigroup, Numerical semigroups with maximum and minimum number of this kind of gaps are described.     

Proportionally modular diophantine inequalities and their multiplicity

Let I be an interval of positive rational numbers. Then the set S （I） = T ∩ N, where T is the submonoid of （Q0＋, ＋） generated by T, is a numerical semigroup. These numerical semigroups are called proportionally modular and can be characterized as the set of integer solutions of a Diophantine inequality of the form ax rood b 〈 cx. In this paper we are interested in the study of the maximal intervals I subject to the condition that S （I） has a given multiplicity. We also characterize the numerical semigroups associated with these maximal intervals.     

Systems of proportionally modular Diophantine inequalities

The set of integer solutions to the inequality ax mod b≤c x is a numerical semigroup. We study numerical semigroups that are intersections of these numerical semigroups. Recently it has been shown that this class of numerical semigroups coincides with the class of numerical semigroups having a Toms decomposition.

关于图的余树的奇连通分支数的内插定理

本文研究了连通图的余树的奇连通分支数与其可定向嵌入的关系.我们先给出了关于连通图的余树的奇连通分支数的内插定理.作为其应用,我们推广了Xuong和刘彦佩关于图的最大亏格的计算公式,并且证明了如下结果:任意一个连通图G一定满足下列条件之一: (a)对于任意的满足γ(G)≤g≤γM(G)整数g,只要图G嵌入到可定向曲面Sg上,就存在支撑树T,使g-1/2β(G)-ω(T)),其中,γ(G)与γM(G)分别是图G的最小和最大亏格,β(G)与ω(T)分别是图G的Betti数和由T确定的余树的奇连通分支数; (b)对连通图G的任意一个支撑树T,G可以嵌入某个可定向曲面上使其恰好有ω(T) 1个面.特别地,我们给出了所有非平面的3-正则的Hamilton图G所嵌入的可定向曲面的亏格的计算公式.     

Archimedean ordered semigroups as ideal extensions

The main result of the paper is a structure theorem concerning the ideal extensions of archimedean ordered semigroups. We prove that an archimedean ordered semigroup which contains an idempotent is an ideal extension of a simple ordered semigroup containing an idempotent by a nil ordered semigroup. Conversely, if an ordered semigroup S is an ideal extension of a simple ordered semigroup by a nil ordered semigroup, then S is archimedean. As a consequence, an ordered semigroup is archimedean and contains an idempotent if and only if it is an ideal extension of a simple ordered semigroup containing an idempotent by a nil ordered semigroup.     

The Weierstrass semigroup of a pair and moduli inM 3

We classify all the Weierstrass semigroups of a pair of points on a curve of genus 3, by using its canonical model in the plane. Moreover, we count the dimension of the moduli of curves which have a pair of points with a specified Weierstrass semigroup.This work has been supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (Project No. 976-0100-001-2).

Numerical semigroups with many gaps of the same parity

Let g _e (S) (respectively, g _o (S)) be the number of even (respectively, odd) gaps of a numerical semigroup S. In this work we study and characterize the numerical semigroups S that verify 2|g _e (S)−g _o (S)|+1∈S. As a consequence we will see that every numerical semigroup can be represented by means of a numerical semigroup with maximal embedding dimension with all its minimal generators odd.

Towers of Corings

Abstract

The notion of a Frobenius coring is introduced, and it is shown that any such coring produces a Jones-like tower of Frobenius corings and Frobenius extensions. This establishes a one-to-one correspondence between Frobenius corings and extensions.
