The short resolution of a semigroup algebra

Rings and Algebras 2017-02-28 v2

Abstract

This work generalizes the short resolution given in Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. \textbf{131}, 4, (2003), 1081--1091, to any affine semigroup. Moreover, a characterization of Ap\'{e}ry sets is given. This characterization lets compute Ap\'{e}ry sets of affine semigroups and the Frobenius number of a numerical semigroup in a simple way. We also exhibit a new characterization of the Cohen-Macaulay property for simplicial affine semigroups.
