Abstract. Let (X, o) be a complex normal surface singularity. We fix one of its good resolutions X → X, an effective cycle Z supported on the reduced exceptional curve, and any possible (first Chern) class l′ ∈ H 2 (X , ...

Our goal is to convince the readers that the theory of complex normal surface singularities can be a powerful tool in the study of numerical semigroups, and, in the same time, a very rich source of interesting affine and ...

We construct a non-normal affine monoid together with its modules associated with a negative definite plumbed 3-manifold M. In terms of their structure, we describe the $H_1(M,\mathbb{Z})$-equivariant parts of the topological ...
