The multiples of a numerical semigroup (2402.04413v1)

Abstract: 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 multiples of a (fixed) numerical semigroup. We also address the open problem of finding numerical semigroups of embedding dimension $e$ without any quotient of embedding dimension less than $e$, and provide new families with this property.
