Generators of a fraction of a numerical semigroup

Commutative Algebra 2015-06-02 v3

Abstract

Given a numerical semigroup SS and a positive integer dd, the fraction Sd={xN  dxS}\frac{S}{d}=\{ x \in \mathbb{N} \ | \ dx \in S\} is again a numerical semigroup. In this paper we determine a generating set for Sd\frac{S}{d} in terms of the minimal generators of SS and provide sharp upper bounds for the embedding dimension of Sd\frac{S}{d}.
