In this article, we introduce the normalizer N U (R) (X) of a subset X of a ring R (with identity) in the unit group U (R) and consider, in particular, the normalizer of the natural basis ±S of the integral semigroup ring Z 0 S of a finite semigroup S. We investigate properties of this normalizer for the class of semigroup rings of inverse semigroups, which contains, for example, matrix rings, in particular, matrix rings over group rings, and partial group rings. We also construct free groups in the unit group of an integral semigroup ring of a Brandt semigroup using a bicyclic unit.

In this work, we are concerned with the structure of sparse semigroups and some applications of them to Weierstrass points. We manage to describe, classify and find an upper bound for the genus of sparse semigroups. We also study the realization of some sparse semigroups as Weierstrass semigroups. The smoothness property of monomial curves associated to (hyper)ordinary semigroups presented by Pinkham and Rim-Vitulli, and the results on double covering of curves by Torres are crucial in this.
