Abstract

Numerical semigroups with multiplicity ee, width e1e-1, and embedding dimension e2e-2 are of the form S(e,m,n)={e,e+1,,2e1}{e+m,e+n},S(e,m,n) = \langle \{e, e+1, \ldots, 2e-1\} \setminus \{e+m, e+n\} \rangle, for some 1m<ne21 \leq m < n \leq e-2. Inspired by the work of Sally, Herzog and Stamate studied the special case S(e,2,3)S(e,2,3), which they called the ``Sally numerical semigroups''. Recently, Dubey et. al. computed a minimal generating set of the defining ideal of the numerical semigroups S(e,m,n)S(e,m,n) for m2m \geq 2. In this article, we first obtain an analog for the numerical semigroups S(e,1,n)S(e,1,n), and then shift our focus to the projective monomial curves in Pe2\mathbb{P}^{e-2} defined by the semigroups S(e,m,n)S(e,m,n). We obtain a Gr\"{o}bner basis for the defining ideal of the projective monomial curves associated to the semigroups S(e,m,n)S(e,m,n). Moreover, we provide characterizations of Cohen--Macaulay and Gorenstein properties of these curves. Specifically, we prove that these are Cohen--Macaulay if and only if (m,n)(e4,e3)(m,n) \neq (e-4,e-3), and Gorenstein if and only if (e,m,n){(4,1,2),(5,2,3)}(e,m,n)\in \{ (4,1,2), (5,2,3)\}. Furthermore, when these curves are Cohen--Macaulay, we compute the Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of their coordinate ring.
