Abstract We continue our study of exponent semigroups of rational matrices. Our main result is that the matricial dimension of a numerical semigroup is at most its multiplicity (the least generator), greatly improving upon the previous upper bound (the conductor). For many numerical semigroups, including all symmetric numerical semigroups, our upper bound is tight. Our construction uses combinatorially structured matrices and is parametrised by Kunz coordinates, which are central to enumerative problems in the study of numerical semigroups.more » « lessFree, publicly-accessible full text available December 12, 2025

Abstract For numerical semigroups with a specified list of (not necessarily minimal) generators, we describe the asymptotic distribution of factorization lengths with respect to an arbitrary modulus. In particular, we prove that the factorization lengths are equidistributed across all congruence classes that are not trivially ruled out by modular considerations.more » « less

Abstract Several recent papers have examined a rational polyhedronPmwhose integer points are in bijection with the numerical semigroups (cofinite, additively closed subsets of the non-negative integers) containingm. A combinatorial description of the faces ofPmwas recently introduced, one that can be obtained from the divisibility posets of the numerical semigroups a given face contains. In this paper, we study the faces ofPmcontaining arithmetical numerical semigroups and those containing certain glued numerical semigroups, as an initial step towards better understanding the full face structure ofPm. In most cases, such faces only contain semigroups from these families, yielding a tight connection to the geometry ofPm.more » « less
