Let V be a finite set of divisorial valuations centered at a 2dimensional regular local ring R. In this paper we study its structure by means of the semigroup of values, SV , and the multi-index graded algebra defined by V , grV R. We prove that SV is finitely generated and we compute its minimal set of generators following the study of reduced curve singularities. Moreover, we prove a unique d...
