Abstract

Let \CaC\Qp\CaC\subset \Q^p be a rational cone. An affine semigroup S\CaCS\subset \CaC is a \CaC\CaC-semigroup whenever (\CaCS)Np(\CaC\setminus S)\cap \N^p has only a finite number of elements. In this work, we study the tree of \CaC\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\CaC-semigroups and give some families of \CaC\CaC-semigroups fulfilling the extended conjecture. We also check that other conjectures on numerical semigroups seem to be also satisfied by \CaC\CaC-semigroups.
