A short note on the multiplier ideals of monomial space curves (Q908339): Difference between revisions

Multiplier ideals are known as an important tool in the study of birational geometry, especially when they appear in vanishing theorems. It is interesting to know how to calculate multiplier ideals in some concrete examples. The possibly most well-known result is Howard's theorem which gives a nice formula for multiplier ideals of monomial ideals in terms of Newton polyhedrons. The paper under review concerns the calculation of multiplier ideals for monomial space curves. The main theorem improves a former result obtained by the author [Proc. Am. Math. Soc., Ser. B 1, 33--41 (2014; Zbl 1339.14016)]. The idea is to use auxiliary valuations on the lattice. The former result claims that the number of valuations needed is finite. The author improves it so that we only need two valuations.
