Gap sets of random generalized numerical semigroups

Abstract: For a fixed positive integer $d$ and a small real $p>0$, sample a $p$-random subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^d$, and let $S:=\langle A \rangle$ be the generalized numerical semigroup generated by $A$. We show that, with high probability (as $p \to 0$), the gap set $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^d \setminus S$ is well approximated by the shifted hyperboloid region $$\{(x_1, \ldots, x_d) \in \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}^d: (x_1+\log p^{-1}) \cdots (x_d+\log p^{-1})\ll p^{-1}(\log p^{-1})^{d+1}\}.$$ This generalizes work of Kravitz, Morales, and Schildkraut on the $1$-dimensional setting. We also obtain the same result with $S$ replaced by the set of subset sums of $A$. This is a joint work with Noah Kravitz.
