Betti numbers of the tangent cones of monomial space curves

Abstract: Let

H = l a n g l e n_{1}, n_{2}, n_{3} a n g l e

be a numerical semigroup. Let

i l d e H

be the interval completion of

H

, namely the semigroup generated by the interval

l a n g l e n_{1}, n_{1} + 1, l d o t s, n_{3} a n g l e

. Let

K

be a field and

K [H]

the semigroup ring generated by

H

. Let

I_{H}^{*}

be the defining ideal of the tangent cone of

K [H]

. In this paper, we describe the defining equations of

I_{H}^{*}

. From that, we establish the Herzog-Stamate conjecture for monomial space curves stating that

for all

i

, where

and

are the

i

th Betti numbers of

I_{H}^{*}

and

I_{i l d e H}^{*}

respectively.
