We define a Frobenius algebra over fusion categories of the form Rep$(G)\boxtimes$Rep$(G)$ which generalizes the diagonal subgroup of $G\times G$. This allows us to extend field theoretical constructions which depend on the existence of a…
Every numerical semigroup can be expressed as an intersection of irreducible numerical semigroups. We show that the unions of sets of lengths of factorizations of numerical semigroups into irreducible numerical semigroups are all equal to…
Let $G$ be the symmetric group of degree $n$. Let $\omega(G)$ be the maximal size of a subset $S$ of $G$ such that $\langle x,y \rangle = G$ whenever $x,y \in S$ and $x \neq y$ and let $\sigma(G)$ be the minimal size of a family of proper…
Diagram semigroups are interesting algebraic and combinatorial objects, several types of them originating from questions in computer science and in physics. Here we describe diagram semigroups in a general framework and extend our…
If a group $G$ is the union of proper subgroups $H_1, \dots, H_k$, we say that the collection $\{H_1, \dots H_k \}$ is a cover of $G$, and the size of a minimal cover (supposing one exists) is the covering number of $G$, denoted…
Let consider $n$ natural numbers $a\_1 ,\ldots , a\_{n} $. Let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by $a\_1 ,\ldots , a\_{n} $. Set $A=K[t^{a\_1}, \ldots , t^{a\_n}]=K[{x\_1}, \ldots , {x\_n}]/I$. The aim of this paper is:…
A semiprime is a natural number which is the product of two (not necessarily distinct) prime numbers. Let $F(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be a degree $d$ homogeneous form with integer coefficients. We provide sufficient conditions, similar to those…
The symmetric subrank of homogeneous polynomial is the largest number of terms in a diagonal form to which it can be specialized by a (typically non-invertible) linear variable substitution. Building on earlier work by Derksen-Makam-Zuiddam…
For a semigroup $S$, the covering number of $S$ with respect to semigroups, $\sigma_s(S)$, is the minimum number of proper subsemigroups of $S$ whose union is $S$. This article investigates covering numbers of semigroups and analogously…
We characterize numerical semigroups for which the poset of its ideal class monoid is a lattice, and study the irreducible elements of such a lattice with respect to union, intersection, infimum and supremum.
We conjecture a Fibonacci-like property on the number of numerical semigroups of a given genus. Moreover we conjecture that the associated quotient sequence approaches the golden ratio. The conjecture is motivated by the results on the…
The catenary degree is an invariant that measures the distance between factorizations of elements within a numerical semigroup. In general, all possible catenary degrees of the elements of the numerical semigroups occur as the catenary…
Let \Gamma=<\alpha, \beta > be a numerical semigroup. In this article we consider several relations between the so-called \Gamma-semimodules and lattice paths from (0,\alpha) to (\beta,0): we investigate isomorphism classes of…
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…
The Frobenius number $g(S)$ of a set $S$ of non-negative integers with $\gcd 1$ is the largest integer not expressible as a linear combination of elements of $S$. Given a sequence ${\bf s} = (s_i)_{i \geq 0}$, we can define the associated…
We show explicitly that supersymmetric $E_6$ Grand Unified Theory with a Higgs sector consisting of $\{27+\bar{27}+351'+\bar{351'}+78\}$ fields provides a realistic scenario for symmetry breaking and fermion mass generation. While gauge…
A numerical semigroup is a cofinite subset of the non-negative integers that is closed under addition and contains 0. Each numerical semigroup $S$ with fixed smallest positive element $m$ corresponds to an integer point in a rational…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of Arf special gaps of an Arf numerical semigroup, and an algorithm for computing all Arf special gaps of a given Arf numerical semigroup. We introduce the concept of Arf-irreducible numerical…
Let $a,b$ be positive integers. In this note, we study the numerical semigroup $H=\left<a,a+1,b\right>$ and and the associated numerical semigroup ring $R=k[[H]]$. Under the certain conditions, we provide explicit formulas for the Frobenius…
