A characterization of some families of Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein and/or Buchsbaum rings (Q2420421)

The organization of this paper as follows: in Section 1, the concept of convex polytope/polyhedron semigroup is defined and some basic notions and results used in the rest of the work are given. In Section 2, the set \(L_{\mathbb{R}\geq}(P)\setminus \bigcup_{j\in\mathbb{N}}jP\) is completely described by using geometric tools. In Section 3, the Cohen-Macaulay property is studied and an algorithm that checks for this property in affine simplicial convex polyhedron semigroups is given. A family of Gorenstein affine semigroups is given in Section 4. Lastly, in Section 5, Buchsbaum affine simplicial convex polyhedron semigroups are characterized and a family of such semigroups is obtained.
