Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d > 0$. Let $I_\bullet = \{I_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a graded family of $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals in $R$. We examine how far off from a polynomial can the length function $\ell_R(R/I_n)$ be asymptotically. More specifically, we show that there exists a constant $γ> 0$ such that for all $n \ge 0$, $$\ell_R(R/I_{n+1}) - \ell_R(R/I_n) < γn^{d-1}.$$
We consider the question of when a semigroup is the semigroup of a valuation dominating a two dimensional noetherian local domain, giving some surprising examples. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the pair of a semigroup S and a field extension L/k to be the semigroup and residue field of a valaution dominating a regular local ring R of dimension two with residue field k, generalizing the theorem of Spivakovsky for the case when there is no residue field extension.
In this paper we discuss stable forms of extensions of algebraic local rings along a valuation in all dimensions over a field k of characteristic zero, and generalize a formula of Ghezzi, Hà and Kashcheyeva describing the extension of associated graded rings along the valuation for stable extensions of regular algebraic local rings of dimension two to arbitrary ground fields k of characteristic zero. We discuss the failure of this result in positive characteristic.
