For a given permutation or set partition there is a natural way to assign a genus. Counting all permutations or partitions of a fixed genus according to cycle lengths or block sizes, respectively, is the main content of this article. After…
We consider numerical semigroups $S_3 = \langle d_1,d_2,d_3\rangle$, minimally generated by three positive integers. We revisit the Wilf question in $S_3$ and, making use of identities for degrees of syzygies of such semigroups, give a…
For g $\ge$ 0, let n g denote the number of numerical semi-groups of genus g. A conjecture by Maria Bras-Amor\'os in 2008 states that the inequality n g $\ge$ n g--1 + n g--2 should hold for all g $\ge$ 2. Here we show that such an…
This work delves into the {\it quotient of an affine semigroup by a positive integer}, exploring its intricate properties and broader implications. We unveil an {\it associated tree} that serves as a valuable tool for further analysis.…
We study a numerical semigroup ring as an algebra over another numerical semigroup ring. The complete intersection property of numerical semigroup algebras is investigated using factorizations of monomials into minimal ones. The goal is to…
We generalize the geometric sequence $\{a^p, a^{p-1}b, a^{p-2}b^2,...,b^p\}$ to allow the $p$ copies of $a$ (resp. $b$) to all be different. We call the sequence $\{a_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1b_2a_3\cdots a_p,\ldots,…
We prove the conjecture by M. Yip stating that counting genus one partitions by the number of their elements and parts yields, up to a shift of indices, the same array of numbers as counting genus one rooted hypermonopoles. Our proof…
Finding the number of maximal subgroups of infinite index of a finitely generated group is a natural problem that has been solved for several classes of `geometric' groups (linear groups, hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, etc). Here…
We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…
Let G be a finitely generated group and M_n(G) the number of its normal subgroup subgroups of index at most n. For linear groups G we show that M_n(G) can grow polynomially in n only if the semisimple part of the Zariski closure of G has…
In this paper we study numerical semigroups generated by three elements. We give a characterization of pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroups. Also, we will give a simple algorithm to get all the pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroups with…
In this paper, we carry out a fairly comprehensive study of two special classes of numerical semigroups, one generated by the sequence of partial sums of an arithmetic progression and the other one generated by the partial sums of a…
For a positive integer $m$, a finite set of integers is said to be equidistributed modulo $m$ if the set contains an equal number of elements in each congruence class modulo $m$. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining when…
A numerical semigroup is a submonoid of ${\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$ whose complement in ${\mathbb Z}_{\ge 0}$ is finite. For any set of positive integers $a,b,c$, the numerical semigroup $S(a,b,c)$ formed by the set of solutions of the inequality…
Let C be a complete non-singular irreducible curve of genus 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We determine all possible Weierstrass semigroups of ramification points on double covers of C which have genus greater…
The common behaviour of many families of numerical semigroups led up to defining, firstly, the Frobenius varieties and, secondly, the (Frobenius) pseudo-varieties. However, some interesting families are still out of these definitions. To…
We develop a geometric procedure for finding the Ap\'ery set of any numerical semigroup with embedding dimension four. Previous methods of comparable strength worked only for embedding dimension three or under very specific conditions. We…
Let $\CaC\subset \Q^p$ be a rational cone. An affine semigroup $S\subset \CaC$ is a $\CaC$-semigroup whenever $(\CaC\setminus S)\cap \N^p$ has only a finite number of elements. In this work, we study the tree of $\CaC$-semigroups, give a…
Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the Riemann sphere with specified ramification, or equivalently, transitive permutation factorizations in the symmetric group with specified cycle types. Monotone Hurwitz numbers count a restricted…
Motivated by appearance of multisemigroups in the study of additive $2$-categories, we define and investigate the notion of a multisemigroup with multiplicities. This notion seems to be better suitable for applications in higher…
