On a functional equation arising from hyperbolic geometry.
The purpose of this paper is to define a new numerical invariant of valuations centered in a regular two-dimensional regular local ring. For this, we define a sequence of non-negative rational numbers δν = {δν(j)}j ≥ 0 which is determined by the proximity relations of the successive quadratic transformations at the points determined by a valuation ν. This sequence is characterized by seven combinatorial properties, so that any sequence of non-negative rational numbers having the above properties...
In this paper we give a short introduction to the local uniformization problem. This follows a similar line as the one presented by the second author in his talk at ALANT 3. We also discuss our paper on the reduction of local uniformization to the rank one case. In that paper, we prove that in order to obtain local uniformization for valuations centered at objects of a subcategory of the category of noetherian integral domains, it is enough to prove it for rank one valuations centered at objects...
Let (R;m) be a 2-dimensional rational singularity with algebraically closed residue field and whose associated graded ring is an integrally closed domain. Göhner has shown that for every prime divisor v of R, there exists a unique one-fibered complete m-primary ideal A v in R with unique Rees valuation v and such that any complete m-primary ideal with unique Rees valuation v, is a power of A v. We show that for v ≠ ordR, A v is the inverse transform of a simple complete ideal in an immediate quadratic...
