Affine semigroups of maximal projective dimension (Q6830491)

The authors generalize the notions of symmetric semigroups, pseudo-symmetric semigroups, and row-factorization matrices for pseudo-Frobenius elements of numerical semigroups to the case of MPD-semigroups. They prove that under suitable conditions these semigroups satisfy the generalized Wilf's conjecture and that the generic nature of the defining ideal of the associated semigroup algebra of an MPD-semigroup implies the uniqueness of the row-factorization matrix for each pseudo-Frobenius element. Moreover, they give a description of pseudo-Frobenius elements and row-factorization matrices of gluing of MPD-semigroups.
