RT journal article T1 The short resolution of a semigroup Algebra A1 Ojeda, Ignacio A1 Vigneron Tenorio, Alberto A2 Matemáticas K1 free resolution K1 Betti number K1 semigroup algebra K1 affine semigroup K1 Apery set K1 Frobenius problem AB This work generalises the short resolution given by Pisón Casares ['The short resolution of a lattice ideal', Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 131(4) (2003), 1081-1091] to any affine semigroup. We give a characterisation of Apéry sets which provides a simple way to compute Apéry sets of affine semigroups and Frobenius numbers of numerical semigroups. We also exhibit a new characterisation of the Cohen-Macaulay property for simplicial affine semigroups.
