Two-generator numerical semigroups and Fermat and Marsenne numbers

Given $g\in \N$, what is the number of numerical semigroups $S=\vs{a,b}$ in $\N$ of genus $|\N\setminus S|=g$? After settling the case $g=2^k$ for all $k$, we show that attempting to extend the result to $g=p^k$ for all odd primes $p$ is linked, quite surprisingly, to the factorization of Fermat and...

Abstract Given $g\in \N$, what is the number of numerical semigroups $S=\vs{a,b}$ in $\N$ of genus $|\N\setminus S|=g$? After settling the case $g=2^k$ for all $k$, we show that attempting to extend the result to $g=p^k$ for all odd primes $p$ is linked, quite surprisingly, to the factorization of Fermat and Mersenne numbers.
