To be submitted", "categories": [ "math.NT", "math.GR" ], "abstract": "For a positive integer $m$, a finite set of integers is said to be evenly distributed modulo $m$ if the set contains an equal number of elements in each congruence class modulo $m$. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining when the set of gaps of a numerical semigroup $S$ is evenly distributed modulo $m$. Of particular interest is the case when the nonzero elements of an Ap\\'ery set of $S$ form an arithmetic sequence, which occurs precisely when $S$ is a numerical semigroup of embedding dimension 2 or a numerical semigroup of maximal embedding dimension generated by a generalized arithmetic sequence. We derive explicit conditions for which the gaps of these numerical semigroups are evenly distributed modulo $m$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-05T19:53:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11D04", "20M14" ], "keywords": [ "numerical semigroup", "evenly distributed sets", "evenly distributed modulo", "arithmetic sequence", "embedding dimension" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
