Abstract

We consider the last value μ^(ν)\hat{\mu} (\nu) of the vanishing sequence of H0(L)H^0(L) along a divisorial or irrational valuation ν\nu centered at OP2,p\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2,p}, where LL resp. pp is a line resp. a point of the projective plane P2\mathbb{P}^2 over an algebraically closed field. This value contains, for valuations, similar information as that given by Seshadri constants for points. It is always true that μ^(ν)1/vol(ν)\hat{\mu} (\nu) \geq \sqrt{1 / \mathrm{vol}(\nu)} and minimal valuations are those satisfying the equality. In this paper, we prove that the Greuel-Lossen-Shustin Conjecture implies a variation of the Nagata Conjecture involving minimal valuations (that extends the one stated in the paper "Very general monomial valuations of P2\mathbb{P}^2 and a Nagata type conjecture" by Dumnicki et al. to the whole set of divisorial and irrational valuations of the projective plane) which also implies the original one. We also provide infinitely many families of very general minimal valuations with an arbitrary number of Puiseux exponents, and an asymptotic result that can be considered as an evidence in the direction of the mentioned conjecture by Dumnicki et al.
