Given two numerical semigroups $S$ and $T$ we say that $T$ is a multiple of $S$ if there exists an integer $d \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$ such that $S = \{x \in \mathbb{N} \mid d x \in T\}$. In this paper we study the family of…
Maximally embedding dimension (MED) numerical semigroups are a wide and interesting family, with some remarkable algebraic and combinatorial properties. Associated to any numerical semigroup one can construct a MED closure, as it is well…
We introduce the quasi-ordinarization transform of a numerical semigroup. This transform will allow to organize all the semigroups of a given genus in a forest rooted at all quasi-ordinary semigroups with the given genus. This construction…
Let $p_1=2, p_2=3, p_3=5, \ldots$ be the consecutive prime numbers, $S_n$ the numerical semigroup generated by the primes not less than $p_n$ and $u_n$ the largest irredundant generator of $S_n$. We will show, that $\bullet$ $u_n\sim3p_n$.…
Let $H$ be a numerical semigroup minimally generated by an almost arithmetic sequence. We give a description of a possible row-factorization $(\RF)$ matrix for each pseudo-Frobenius element of $H.$ Further, when $H$ is symmetric and has…
The Tarski number of a non-amenable group G is the minimal number of pieces in a paradoxical decomposition of G. Until now the only numbers which were known to be Tarski numbers of some groups were 4 and 6. We construct a group with Tarski…
We prove that for a number field $F$, the distribution of the points of a set $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{A}_F^n$ with a purely exponential parametrization, for example a set of matrices boundedly generated by semi-simple (diagonalizable)…
For an Ulrich ideal in a Gorenstein local ring, the quotient ring is again Gorenstein. Aiming to further develop the theory of Ulrich ideals, this paper investigates a naive question of how many non-principal ideals whose quotient rings are…
Levelness and nearly Gorensteinness are well-studied properties of graded rings as a generalized notion of Gorensteinness. In this paper, we compare the strength of these properties. For any Cohen-Macaulay homogeneous affine semigroup ring…
Let $C$ be a semidualizing module. We first investigate the properties of finitely generated $G_C$-projective modules. Then, relative to $C$, we introduce and study the rings of Gorenstein (weak) global dimensions at most 1, which we call…
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 characterize numerical semigroups $S$ with embedding dimension three attaining equality in the inequality $\max\Delta(S)+2\leq \operatorname{cat}(S)$, where $\Delta(S)$ denotes the Delta set of $S$ and $\operatorname{cat}(S)$ denotes the…
We define a reflective numerical semigroup of genus $g$ as a numerical semigroup that has a certain reflective symmetry when viewed within $\mathbb{Z}$ as an array with $g$ columns. Equivalently, a reflective numerical semigroup has one gap…
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…
A proper subsemigroup of a semigroup is maximal if it is not contained in any other proper subsemigroup. A maximal subsemigroup of a finite semigroup has one of a small number of forms, as described in a paper of Graham, Graham, and Rhodes.…
The main aim of this work is to introduce and justify the study of semi-covarities. A {\it semi-covariety} is a non-empty family $\mathcal{F}$ of numerical semigroups such that it is closed under finite intersections, has a minimum,…
We determine the groups of minimal order in which all groups of order n can embedded for 1 < n < 16. We further determine the order of a minimal group in which all groups or order n or less can be embedded, also for 1 < n < 16.
We study ideal-simple commutative semirings and summarize the results giving their classification, in particular when they are finitely generated. In the principal case of (para)semifields, we then consider their minimal number of…
We prove that the number of terms in the middle of an almost split sequence in the module category of a cycle-finite artin algebra is bounded by 5.
Ara\'ujo, Kinyon and Konieczny (2011) pose several problems concerning the construction of arbitrary commuting graphs of semigroups. We observe that every star-free graph is the commuting graph of some semigroup. Consequently, we suggest…
