Abstract

For a positive integer mm, a finite set of integers is said to be equidistributed modulo mm if the set contains an equal number of elements in each congruence class modulo mm. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining when the set of gaps of a numerical semigroup SS is equidistributed modulo mm. Of particular interest is the case when the nonzero elements of an Ap\'ery set of SS form an arithmetic sequence. We explicitly describe such numerical semigroups SS and determine conditions for which the sets of gaps of these numerical semigroups are equidistributed modulo mm.
