Fel's conjecture on universal symmetric polynomials for numerical semigroups
Fel's conjecture on universal symmetric polynomials for numerical semigroups
Let be the numerical semigroup under consideration, with multiplicity , generators , gap power sums , and invariants . Write and , where
Let be the universal symmetric polynomials defined from these power sums. Fel's conjecture. For every ,
This conjecture gives a complete formula for the invariants in terms of the universal symmetric polynomials and the gap power sums; the displayed cases for provide the initial evidence, while the general identity is the conjectural part.
