Abstract: A semigroup langleCangle in mathbbNn is a gluing of langleAangle and langleBangle if its finite set of generators C splits into two parts, C=k1Asqcupk2B with k1,k2geq1, and the defining ideals of the corresponding semigroup rings satisfy that IC is generated by IA+IB and one extra element. Two semigroups langleAangle and langleBangle can be glued if there exist positive integers k1,k2 such that, for C=k1Asqcupk2B, langleCangle is a gluing of langleAangle and langleBangle. Although any two numerical semigroups, namely semigroups in dimension n=1, can always be glued, it is no longer the case in higher dimensions. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on A and B for the existence of a gluing of langleAangle and langleBangle, and give examples to illustrate why they are necessary. These generalize and explain the previous known results on existence of gluing. We also prove that the glued semigroup langleCangle inherits the properties like Gorenstein or Cohen-Macaulay from the two parts langleAangle and langleBangle.


Two numerical semigroups in dimension \(n=1\) can always be glued. However, it is no longer the case in higher dimensions. In this paper, the authors give necessary and sufficient conditions on the generating sets \(A\) and \(B\) for the existence of a gluing of the semigroups \(\langle A\rangle\) and \(\langle B\rangle\), and give examples to illustrate why they are necessary. These conditions generalize and explain the previous known results on existence of gluings. The authors also prove that the glued semigroup \(\langle C\rangle\) inherits properties like Gorenstein or Cohen-Macaulay from the two parts \(\langle A\rangle\) and \(\langle B\rangle\).
