Primary Decomposition of Powers of the Prime Ideal of a Numerical Semigroup Ring

Abstract

Let R=k[tn1,,tns]=k[x1,,xs]/P be a numerical semigroup ring and let P(n)=PnRPR be the symbolic power of P and Rs(P)=i0P(n)tn the symbolic Rees ring of P. It is hard to determine symbolic powers of P; there are even non-Noetherian symbolic Rees rings for 3-generated semigroups. We determine the primary decomposition of powers of P for some classes of 3-generated numerical semigroups.
