Abstract

Let H=n1,,n4H=\langle n_1, \ldots ,n_4\rangle be a numerical semigroup generated by 44 elements, which is symmetric and let k[H]k[H] be the semigroup ring of HH over a field kk. H. Bresinski proved that the defining ideal of k[H]k[H] is minimally generated by 33 or 55 elements. We give a new short proof of Bresinski's Theorem using the structure theorem of Buchsbaum and Eisenbud on the minimal free resolution of Gorenstein rings of embedding codimension 33.
