Abstract

We prove that the Newton-Okounkov body of the flag E:={X=XrEr{q}}E_{\bullet}:= \left\{ X=X_r \supset E_r \supset \{q\} \right\}, defined by the surface XX and the exceptional divisor ErE_r given by any divisorial valuation of the complex projective plane P2\mathbb{P}^2, with respect to the pull-back of the line-bundle OP2(1)\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2} (1) is either a triangle or a quadrilateral, characterizing when it is a triangle or a quadrilateral. We also describe the vertices of that figure. Finally, we introduce a large family of flags for which we determine explicitly their Newton-Okounkov bodies which turn out to be triangular.

30 pages, 11 figures. V2: The terminology "infinitely singular valuations" used in the first version has been just replaced with the more customary "exceptional curve valuations" (it is simply a matter of denomination)
