@misc{10498/35327, year = {2009}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10498/35327}, abstract = {We say that a numerical semigroup is d-squashed if it can be written in the form S =1/N(a1, . . . , ad) ∩ Z for N, a1, . . . , ad positive integers with gcd(a1, . . . , ad) = 1. Rosales and Urbano have shown that a numerical semigroup is 2-squashed if and only if it is proportionally modular. Recent works by Rosales et al. give a concrete example of a numerical semigroup that cannot be written as an intersection of 2-squashed semigroups. We will show the existence of infinitely many numerical semigroups that cannot be written as an intersection of 2-squashed semigroups. We also will prove the same result for 3-squashed semigroups. We conjecture that there are numerical semigroups that cannot be written as the intersection of d-squashed semigroups for any fixed d, and we prove some partial results towards this conjecture.}, publisher = {Cambridge}, keywords = {Numerical Semigroups}, keywords = {d-squashed semigroups}, keywords = {proportionally modular numerical semigroup}, title = {Numerical semigroups that are not intersections of d-squashed semigroups}, doi = {10.4153/CMB-2009-059-4}, author = {Moreno Frías, María Ángeles and Nicola, J and Pardo Espino, Enrique and Thomas, H}, }
