Numerical semigroups, polyhedra, and posets. III: Minimal presentations and face dimension (Q6115512)

Summary: This paper is the third in a series of manuscripts that examine the combinatorics of the Kunz polyhedron \(P_m\), whose positive integer points are in bijection with numerical semigroups (cofinite subsemigroups of \(\mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant 0})\) whose smallest positive element is \(m\). The faces of \(P_m\) are indexed by a family of finite posets (called Kunz posets) obtained from the divisibility posets of the numerical semigroups lying on a given face. In this paper, we characterize to what extent the minimal presentation of a numerical semigroup can be recovered from its Kunz poset. In doing so, we prove that all numerical semigroups lying on the interior of a given face of \(P_m\) have identical minimal presentation cardinality, and we provide a combinatorial method of obtaining the dimension of a face from its corresponding Kunz poset.
