Abstract

The graded algebragr v R relative to a valuationv of the quotient field of a noetherian local domainR centered atR is anS-gradedK-algebra whereS is the value semigroup ofv andK the residue field ofR. We show how the semigroup theoretical properties ofS allow to describe a minimal system of homogeneous generators forgr v R and to obtain anS-graded minimal resolution ofgr v R asA[v]-module,A[v] being certain associated polynomial ring. We derive a formula to obtain the number of generators of a fixed degree (inS) for each syzygy module and so to compute them in combinatorial terms.
