Abstract

Judith Sally proved in 1980 that the associated graded ring of one-dimensional Gorenstein local rings of multiplicity ee and embedding dimension e2e-2 are Cohen-Macaulay. She showed that the defining ideal of the associated graded ring of such rings is generated by (e22){e-2 \choose 2} elements. Numerical semigroup rings are a big class of one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay rings. In 2014, Herzog and Stamate proved that the numerical semigroup <e,e+1,e+4,,2e1><e,e+1,e+4,\ldots,2e-1 > defines a Gorenstein semigroup ring satisfying Sally's conditions above and such semigroups are called Gorenstein Sally Semigroups. We call a numerical semigroup SS as Sally type if <S>=<e,e+1,,e+m1,e+m+1,,e+n1,e+n+1,2e1><S >= < e,e+1,\ldots,e+m-1, e+m+1,\ldots, e+n-1,e+n+1, \ldots 2e-1> for some 2m<ne22 \leq m <n \leq e-2. In this paper, we give a formula for its Frobenius number along with a necessary and sufficient condition for it to be Gorenstein. We compute the minimal number of generators for the defining ideal of the semigroup ring k[S]k[S]. Additionally, we present an algorithm and a GAP code used in applying Hochster's combinatorial formula to compute the first Betti number of k[S]k[S].
