Abstract

It is well known that multi-point Seshadri constants for a small number ss of points in the projective plane are submaximal. It is predicted by the Nagata conjecture that their values are maximal for s9s\geq 9 points. Tackling the problem in the language of valuations one can make sense of ss points for any positive real s1s\geq 1. We show somewhat surprisingly that a Nagata-type conjecture should be valid for s8+1/36s\geq 8+1/36 points and we compute explicitly all Seshadri constants (expressed here as the asymptotic maximal vanishing element) for s7+1/9s\leq 7+1/9.
