Frobenius allowable gaps of Generalized Numerical Semigroups (2103.15983v2)

Abstract: A generalised numerical semigroup (GNS) is a submonoid $S$ of $\mathbb{N}^d$ for which the complement $\mathbb{N}^d\setminus S$ is finite. The points in the complement $\mathbb{N}^d\setminus S$ are called gaps. A gap $F$ is considered Frobenius allowable if there is some relaxed monomial ordering on $\mathbb{N}^d$ with respect to which $F$ is the largest gap. We characterise the Frobenius allowable gaps of a GNS. A GNS that has only one Frobenius allowable gap is called a Frobenius GNS. We estimate the number of Frobenius GNS with a given Frobenius gap $F=(F^{(1)},\dots,F^{(d)})\in\mathbb{N}^d$ and show that it is close to $\sqrt{3}^{(F^{(1)}+1)\cdots (F^{(d)}+1)}$ for large $d$. We define notions of quasi-irreducibility and quasi-symmetry for GNS. While in the case of $d=1$ these notions coincide with irreducibility and symmetry of GNS, they are distinct in higher dimensions.
