Abstract
Let be a finite subset. We denote by the set of all integers such that , where denotes the -fold sumset of . The motivation to consider stems from Buchweitz's discovery in 1980 that if a numerical semigroup is a Weierstrass semigroup, then . By constructing instances where this condition fails, Buchweitz disproved a longstanding conjecture by Hurwitz (1893). In this paper, we prove that for any numerical semigroup of genus , the set is finite, of unbounded cardinality as varies.
