We introduce the concept of homogeneous numerical semigroups and show that all homogeneous numerical semigroups with Cohen-Macaulay tangent cones are of homogeneous type. In embedding dimension three, we classify all numerical semigroups of…

Let $\mathbf{a} = a_1 <\dots < a_r$ be a sequence of positive integers, and let $H_{\mathbf{a}}$ denote the semigroup generated by $a_1, \dots, a_r$. For an integer $k\geq 0$ we denote by $\mathbf{a}+k$ the shifted sequence $a_1 +k, \dots,…

In this paper, we study the Apery tables for the numerical semigroups given by Bresinsky and Arslan. Using the Apery tables we write the tangent cones of the Bresinsky and Arsalan curves at the origin. Further, we calculate Hilbert series…

In this article, standard bases of some toric ideals associated to 4-generated pseudo symmetric semigroups with not Cohen-Macaulay tangent cones at the origin are computed. As the tangent cones are not Cohen-Macaulay, non-decreasingness of…

In this article, we study Hilbert Series of non-Cohen-Maculay tangent cones for some 4-generated pseudo symmetric monomial curves. We show that the Hilbert Function is nondecreasing by explicitly computing it. We also compute standard bases…

In this paper, we carry out a fairly comprehensive study of special classes of numerical semigroups, and their tangent cones, generated by the sequence of partial sums of an arithmetic progression, in embedding dimension $5$. These classes…

Given a numerical semigroup ring $R=k[\![S]\!]$, an ideal $E$ of $S$ and an odd element $b \in S$, the numerical duplication $S \! \Join^b \! E$ is a numerical semigroup, whose associated ring $k[\![S \! \Join^b \! E]\!]$ shares many…

The main goal of this paper is to study some local and global properties of secant varieties of algebraic curves. These results complement our previous work [8] by addressing issues given therein and providing solutions to problems raised…

The set of real matrices of upper-bounded rank is a real algebraic variety called the real generic determinantal variety. An explicit description of the tangent cone to that variety is given in Theorem 3.2 of Schneider and Uschmajew [SIAM…

In this article we solve the conjecture "Hilbert function of the local ring for a 4 generated pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroup $\langle n_1,n_2,n_3,n_4 \rangle$ is always non-decreasing when $ n_1 < n_2 < n_3 < n_4$". We give a complete…

We show that the minimal number of generators and the Cohen-Macaulay type of a family of numerical semigroups generated by concatenation of arithmetic sequences is unbounded.

We introduce the notion of numerical semigroups generated by concatenation of arithmetic sequences and show that this class of numerical semigroups exhibit multiple interesting behaviours.

In this paper we describe the structure of the tangent cone of a numerical semigroup ring $A=k[[S]] \subseteq k[[t]]$ with multiplicity $e$ (as a module over the Noether normalization determined by the fiber cone of the ideal generated by…

The cone of a classical group $G$ is an affine $G\times G$-variety. The aim of this note is to initiate its combinatorial study in the cases when $G$ is the complex orthogonal or symplectic group. The coordinate ring of the cone of $G$ is a…

We study the question whether the affine semigroup of integer points in a convex cone can be finitely generated up to symmetries of the cone. We establish general properties of finite generation up to symmetry, and then concentrate on the…

Let $C$ be a Gorenstein non complete intersection monomial curve in the 4-dimensional affine space. In this paper we study the minimal number of generators of the tangent cone of $C$. Special attention will be paid to the case where $C$ has…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of "extension" of a toric variety and study its fundamental properties. This gives rise to infinitely many toric varieties with a special property, such as being set theoretic complete intersection or…

We calculate the tangent cones at unity of Schubert varieties for $A_n$, where $n$ is less or equal to four. We state several conjectures for an arbitrary $n$.

Symmetric cones can be endowed with at least two interesting non Riemannian metrics: the Hilbert and the Thompson metrics. It is trivial that the linear maps preserving the cone are isometries for those two metrics. Oddly enough those are…

Given a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring we compare several sets of invariants (micro-invariants, Apery invariants and invariants of the tangent cone) and give explicit formulas relating them. We show that, in fact, they coincide…
