The present paper addresses a semimodule counting conjecture of Moreno-Fr\'{i}as and Rosales for numerical semigroups. Applying Pfister and Steenbrink's Theory for punctual Hilbert schemes of curve singularities, we show that this…
Mason and Ng have given a generalization to semisimple quasi-Hopf algebras of Linchenko and Montgomery's generalization to semisimple Hopf algebras of the classical Frobenius-Schur theorem for group representations. We give a simplified…
In this paper, as a main theorem, we prove that the decision version of the Frobenius problem is Sigma_2^P-complete under Karp reductions.Given a finite set A of coprime positive integers, we call the greatest integer that cannot be…
Let $S\neq\mathbb N$ be a numerical semigroup with Frobenius number $f$, genus $g$ and embedding dimension $e$. In 1978 Wilf asked the question, whether $\frac{f+1-g}{f+1}\geq\frac1e$. As is well known, this holds in the cases $e=2$ and…
We show that the number of numerical semigroups with multiplicity three, four or five and fixed genus is increasing as a function in the genus. To this end we use the Kunz polytope for these multiplicities. Counting numerical semigroups…
In this paper, a new formula for {\pi}^(2)(N) is formulated, it is a function that counts the number of semi-primes not exceeding a given number N. A semi-prime is a natural number that is the product of precisely two prime numbers, the two…
A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…
For a nonnegative integer $p$, the $p$-numerical semigroup $S_p$ is defined as the set of integers whose nonnegative integral linear combinations of given positive integers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_\kappa$ with $\gcd(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_\kappa)=1$ are…
We contruct a one-to-one correspondence between a subset of numerical semigroups with genus $g$ and $\gamma$ even gaps and the integer points of a rational polytope. In particular, we give an overview to apply this correspondence to try to…
Combinatorics on multisets is used to deduce new upper and lower bounds on the number of numerical semigroups of each given genus, significantly improving existing ones. In particular, it is proved that the number $n_g$ of numerical…
In this paper we study the property of the Arf good subsemigroups of $\mathbb{N}^n$, with $n\geq2$. We give a way to compute all the Arf semigroups with a given collection of multiplicity branches. We also deal with the problem of…
The distinguishing number of $G \leqslant \sym(\Omega)$ is the smallest size of a partition of $\Omega$ such that only the identity of $G$ fixes all the parts of the partition. Extending earlier results of Cameron, Neumann, Saxl and Seress…
There is strong evidence for the belief that `almost all' finite semigroups, whether we consider multiplication operations on a fixed set or their isomorphism classes, are nilpotent of index 3 (3-nilpotent for short). The only known method…
Given three pairwise coprime positive integers $a_1,a_2,a_3 \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ we show the existence of a relation between the sets of the first elements of the three quotients $\frac{\langle a_i,a_j \rangle}{a_k}$ that can be made for every…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is coated with odd elements (Coe-semigroup), if $\left\{x-1, x+1\right\}\subseteq S$ for all odd element $x$ in $S$. In this note, we will study this kind of numerical semigroups. In particular, we are interested…
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,…
Let $A=(a_1, a_2, ..., a_n)$ be relative prime positive integers with $a_i\geq 2$. The Frobenius number $F(A)$ is the largest integer not belonging to the numerical semigroup $\langle A\rangle$ generated by $A$. The genus $g(A)$ is the…
