Dilatations of numerical semigroups

Abstract

This paper is focused on numerical semigroups and presents a simple construction, that we call dilatation, which, from a starting semigroup $S$, permits to get an infinite family of semigroups which share several properties with $S$. The invariants of each semigroup $T$ of this family are given in terms of the corresponding invariants of $S$ and the Apéry set and the minimal generators of $T$ are also described. We also study three properties that are close to the Gorenstein property of the associated semigroup ring: almost Gorenstein, 2-AGL, and nearly Gorenstein properties. More precisely, we prove that $S$ satisfies one of these properties if and only if each dilatation of $S$ satisfies the corresponding one.

Unified Common-Root and Interpolation Bounds Based on Leading Monomial Data

For general fields the footprint bound from Gröbner basis theory estimates the number of common affine roots of any set of multivariate polynomials using information on their leading monomials. In this paper we develop an interpolation bound with a similar flavor extending a previously known result for only a single polynomial to any prescribed number of polynomials. Surprisingly, our interpolation theorem and the footprint bound can be shown to be two sides of the same coin, solving similar problems, but for dual spaces. As discussed the footprint bound compares well with the improved Alon-Füredi bound and for finite fields the presented interpolation theorem is sharp. Our work can be viewed as a comment to a question raised by Tao in [Tao, 2014]

Poincaré Duality and Quadratic Refinements over Laurent Rings

We develop a Poincaré duality theory for defects of nondegenerate sesquilinear pairings over Laurent polynomial rings. A key ingredient is a novel flat resolution of the character module, constructed from a triangulation of the sphere at infinity associated with a fan. The cup product on this resolution turns Poincaré duality on the sphere into canonical pairings between the resulting defect modules. In middle degrees, we construct distinguished quadratic refinements using equivariant cohomology of the sphere with the antipodal action. The effective replacement of the sphere with a projective space provides a geometric substitute for division by two. Applied to translation-invariant Pauli stabilizer codes, our results establish the nondegeneracy of higher-dimensional braiding pairings. They extend the two-dimensional T-junction formula for topological spin to higher dimensions, while giving it a geometric interpretation.
