In most cases the semigroup at infinity $S$ of a curve $C$ with only one place at infinity is generated by a $\delta$-sequence. This sequence provides geometrical information on $C$ such as the dual graph of the resolution of the…
We consider generalizations of Reed-Muller codes, toric codes, and codes from certain plane curves, such as those defined by norm and trace functions on finite fields. In each case we are interested in codes defined by evaluating arbitrary…
Let $\Delta$ be a numerical semigroup and let $d\ge 2$ be an integer. We study the fiber of the quotient map \(S\mapsto S/d\) over $\Delta$. We describe its elements as semigroups of the form $\langle X\rangle+d\Delta$, for suitable finite…
Let $f$ be a plane curve. We give a procedure based on Abhyankar's approximate roots to detect if it has a single place at infinity, and if so construct its associated $\delta$-sequence, and consequently its value semigroup. Also for fixed…
The delta set of a numerical semigroup $S$, denoted $\Delta(S)$, is a factorization invariant that measures the complexity of the sets of lengths of elements in $S$. We study the following problem: Which finite sets occur as the delta set…
Let $\Gamma=\langle \alpha, \beta \rangle$ be a numerical semigroup. In this article we consider the dual $\Delta^*$ of a $\Gamma$-semimodule $\Delta$; in particular we deduce a formula that expresses the minimal set of generators of…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is a cofinite, additively-closed subset of $\mathbb Z_{\ge 0}$ that contains 0, and a factorization of $x \in S$ is a $k$-tuple $z = (z_1, \ldots, z_k)$ where $x = z_1a_1 + \cdots + z_ka_k$ expresses $x$ as a sum…
Vector bundles and double vector bundles, or $2$-fold vector bundles, arise naturally for instance as base spaces for algebraic structures such as Lie algebroids, Courant algebroids and double Lie algebroids. It is known that all these…
Let $S$ and $\Delta$ be numerical semigroups. A numerical semigroup $S$ is an $\mathbf{I}(\Delta)$-{\it semigroup} if $S\backslash \{0\}$ is an ideal of $\Delta$. We will denote by $\mathcal{J}(\Delta)=\{S \mid S \text{ is an…
We classify all $q$-ary $\Delta$-divisible linear codes which are spanned by codewords of weight $\Delta$. The basic building blocks are the simplex codes, and for $q=2$ additionally the first order Reed-Muller codes and the parity check…
We consider a certain convolution semigroup $\Theta$ of probability distributions on the group $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{Z}(2)$, where $\mathbb{R}$ is the group of real numbers and $\mathbb{Z}(2)$ is the additive group of the integers…
In this paper we observe that isomorphism classes of certain metrized vector bundles over P^1-{0,infinity} can be parameterized by arithmetic quotients of loop groups. We construct an asymptotic version of theta functions, which are defined…
We analyze a new group testing scheme, termed semi-quantitative group testing, which may be viewed as a concatenation of an adder channel and a discrete quantizer. Our focus is on non-uniform quantizers with arbitrary thresholds. For the…
We work with rational rank 1 valuations centered in regular local rings. Given an algebraic function field $K$ of transcendence degree 3 over $k$, a regular local ring $R$ with $QF(R)=K$ and a $k$-valuation $\nu$ of $K$, we provide an…

Let $V$ be a finite set of divisorial valuations centered at a 2-dimensional regular local ring $R$. In this paper we study its structure by means of the semigroup of values, $S_V$, and the multi-index graded algebra defined by $V$, $\gr_V…
In this paper we develop a method for constructing generating sequences for valuations dominating the ring of a two dimensional quotient singularity. Suppose that $K$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $K[X,Y]$ is a…
We introduce the notion of pattern for numerical semigroups, which allows us to generalize the definition of Arf numerical semigroups. In this way infinitely many other classes of numerical semigroups are defined giving a classification of…
