The isomorphism problem for ideal class monoids of numerical semigroups

Abstract

AbstractFrom any poset isomorphic to the poset of gaps of a numerical semigroup S with the order induced by S, one can recover S. As an application, we prove that two different numerical semigroups cannot have isomorphic posets (with respect to set inclusion) of ideals whose minimum is zero. We also show that given two numerical semigroups S and T, if their ideal class monoids are isomorphic, then S must be equal to T.
