Abstract: Suppose that R is a 2 dimensional excellent local domain with quotient field K, K is a finite separable extension of K and S is a 2 dimensional local domain with quotient field K such that S dominates R. Suppose that u is a valuation of K such that u dominates S. Let u be the restriction of u to K. The associated graded ring mgru(R) was introduced by Bernard Teissier. It plays an important role in local uniformization. We show that the extension (K,u)ightarrow(K,u) of valued fields is without defect if and only if there exist regular local rings R1 and S1 such that R1 is a local ring of a blow up of R, S1 is a local ring of a blowup of S, u dominates S1, S1 dominates R1 and the associated graded ring mgru(S1) is a finitely generated mgru(R1)-algebra. We also investigate the role of splitting of the valuation u in K in finite generation of the extensions of associated graded rings along the valuation. We will say that u does not split in S if u is the unique extension of u to K which dominates S. We show that if R and S are regular local rings, u has rational rank 1 and is not discrete and mgru(S) is a finitely generated mgru(R)-algebra, then u does not split in S. We give examples showing that such a strong statement is not true when u does not satisfy these assumptions. We deduce that if u has rational rank 1 and is not discrete and if RightarrowR is a nontrivial sequence of quadratic transforms along u, then mgru(R) is not a finitely generated mgru(R)-algebra.
