On the smallest partition associated to a numerical semigroup

Combinatorics 2026-04-29 v2

Abstract

The set of hook lengths of an integer partition λ\lambda is the complement of some numerical semigroup SS. There has been recent interest in studying the number of partitions with a given set of hook lengths. Very little is known about the distribution of sizes of this finite set of partitions. We focus on the problem of determining the size of the smallest partition with its set of hook lengths equal to NS\mathbb{N}\setminus S.
