Abstract

A numerical set TT is a subset of N0\mathbb N_0 that contains 00 and has finite complement. The atom monoid of TT is the set of xN0x \in \mathbb N_0 such that x+TTx+T \subseteq T. Marzuola and Miller introduced the anti-atom problem: how many numerical sets have a given atom monoid? This is equivalent to asking for the number of integer partitions with a given set of hook lengths. We introduce the void poset of a numerical semigroup SS and show that numerical sets with atom monoid SS are in bijection with certain order ideals of this poset. We use this characterization to answer the anti-atom problem when SS has small type.
