The Expected Embedding Dimension, type and weight of a Numerical Semigroup

Combinatorics 2022-11-16 v1

Abstract

We study statistical properties of numerical semigroups of genus gg as gg goes to infinity. More specifically, we answer a question of Eliahou by showing that as gg goes to infinity, the proportion of numerical semigroups of genus gg with embedding dimension close to g/5g/\sqrt{5} approaches 11. We prove similar results for the type and weight of a numerical semigroup of genus gg.
