The cone of curves and the Cox ring of rational surfaces given by divisorial valuations

Abstract: We consider surfaces

X

defined by plane divisorial valuations

u

of the quotient field of the local ring

R

at a closed point

p

of the projective plane

m a t h b b P^{2}

over an arbitrary algebraically closed field

k

and centered at

R

. We prove that the regularity of the cone of curves of

X

is equivalent to the fact that

u

is non positive on

{m a t h c a l O}_{m a t h b b P^{2}} (m a t h b b P^{2} s e t m i n u s L)

, where

L

is a certain line containing

p

. Under these conditions, we characterize when the characteristic cone of

X

is closed and its Cox ring finitely generated. Equivalent conditions to the fact that

u

is negative on

{m a t h c a l O}_{m a t h b b P^{2}} (m a t h b b P^{2} s e t m i n u s L) s e t m i n u s k

are also given.
