Abstract

Given a numerical semigroup SS, we let PS(x)=(1x)sSxs\mathrm P_S(x)=(1-x)\sum_{s\in S}x^s be its semigroup polynomial. We study cyclotomic numerical semigroups; these are numerical semigroups SS such that PS(x)\mathrm P_S(x) has all its roots in the unit disc. We conjecture that SS is a cyclotomic numerical semigroup if and only if SS is a complete intersection numerical semigroup and present some evidence for it. Aside from the notion of cyclotomic numerical semigroup we introduce the notion of cyclotomic exponents and polynomially related numerical semigroups. We derive some properties and give some applications of these new concepts.
