On certain N--sheeted coverings and numerical semigroups which cannot be realized as Weierstrass semigroups
Abstract
A curve is said to be of type if it is an --sheeted covering of a curve of genus with at least one totally ramified point. A numerical semigroup is said to be of type if it has positive multiples of in such that its element is and . If the genus of is large enough and is prime, is of type if and only if there is a point such that the Weierstrass semigroup at is of type (this generalizes the case of double coverings of curves). Using the proof of this result and the Buchweitz's semigroup, we can construct numerical semigroups that cannot be realized as Weierstrass semigroups although they might satisfy Buchweitz's criterion.

ICTP preprint, 18 pages, Latex v. 2.1. Reason for resubmission: (1) I reformulated the principal result (Theorem A) in order to obtain a better bound on the genus for the results concerning semigroups. Remarks 3.11 contains examples that show the sharpness (or the necessity of the hypothesis) of most of the result stated in the paper
