Symmetric polynomials associated with numerical semigroups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) of degree n in m real variables, which have arisen in the theory of numerical semigroups. We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums E_k=sum_{j=1}^m x_j^k. We observe a visual similarity between normalized polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m)/chi_m, where chi_m=prod_{j=1}^m x_j, and a polynomial part of a partition function W(s,{d_1,...,d_m}), which gives a number of partitions of sge 0 into m positive integers d_j, and put forward a conjecture about their relationship.
