A short note on the multiplier ideals of monomial space curves

Thompson (2014) exhibits a formula for the multiplier ideal with multiplier lambda of a monomial curve C with ideal I as an intersection of a term coming from the I-adic valuation, the multiplier ideal of the term ideal of I, and terms coming from certain specified auxiliary valuations. This short note shows it suffices to consider at most two auxiliary valuations. This improvement is achieved through a more intrinsic approach, reduction to the toric case. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
