We construct many irreducible polynomials within semigroups generated by sets of the form $S=\{x^2+c_1,\dots,x^2+c_s\}$ under composition.

There exist two different sorts of gaps in the nonsymmetric numerical additive semigroups finitely generated by a minimal set of positive integers {d_1,...,d_m}. The h-gaps are specific only for the nonsymmetric semigroups while the g-gaps…

A natural operation on numerical semigroups is taking a quotient by a positive integer. If $\mathcal S$ is a quotient of a numerical semigroup with $k$ generators, we call $\mathcal S$ a $k$-quotient. We give a necessary condition for 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…

Denote the alternating and symmetric groups of degree $n$ by $A_n$ and $S_n$ respectively. Consider a permutation $\sigma\in S_n$ all of whose nontrivial cycles are of the same length. We find the minimal polynomials of $\sigma$ in the…

A {\it Schmidt group} is a non-nilpotent finite group in which each proper subgroup is nilpotent. Each Schmidt group G can be described by three parameters p, q and v, where p and q are different primes and v is a natural number, $v\ge 1$.…

Let $G\subset SO(4)$ denote a finite subgroup containing the Heisenberg group. In these notes we classify all these groups, we find the dimension of the spaces of $G$-invariant polynomials and we give equations for the generators whenever…

Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…

Let $(G,+)$ be an abelian group and consider a subset $A \subseteq G$ with $|A|=k$. Given an ordering $(a_1, \ldots, a_k)$ of the elements of $A$, define its {\em partial sums} by $s_0 = 0$ and $s_j = \sum_{i=1}^j a_i$ for $1 \leq j \leq…

A numerical semigroup is said to be Weierstrass if it is the semigroup of pole orders of rational functions that are regular at all but one point of some compact Riemann surface or smooth algebraic curve. Hurwitz asked in 1892 whether all…

This paper determines almost symmetric numerical semigroups with maximal reduced type completely. In addition, this paper classifies MED-semigroups with maximal reduced type.

Finite quasi semimetrics on $n$ can be thought of as nonnegative valuations on the edges of a complete directed graph on $n$ vertices satisfying all possible triangle inequalities. They comprise a polyhedral cone whose symmetry groups were…

A numerical semigroup is a sub-semigroup of the natural numbers that has a finite complement. The size of its complement is called the genus and the largest number in the complement is called its Frobenius number. We consider the set of…

For any natural number $n \geq 2$, we construct a triangulated monoidal category whose Grothendieck ring is isomorphic to the ring of cyclotomic integers $\mathbb{O}_n$.

Given a symmetric polynomial $P$ in $2n$ variables, there exists a unique symmetric polynomial $Q$ in $n$ variables such that \[ P(x_1,\ldots,x_n,x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n^{-1}) =Q(x_1+x_1^{-1},\ldots,x_n+x_n^{-1}). \] We denote this polynomial…
