Let be a positive semigroup generated by , and let be the associated semigroup ring over a field . We investigate heredity of the Cohen–Macaulay property from to both its -Newton graded ring and to its face rings. We show by example that neither one inherits in general the Cohen–Macaulay property. On the positive side, we show that for every H there exist generating sets for which the Newton graduation preserves Cohen–Macaulayness. This gives an elementary proof for an important vanishing result on A-hypergeometric Euler–Koszul homology. As a tool for our investigations we develop an algorithm to compute algorithmically the Newton filtration on a toric ring.
