AbstractWe compute the (generalized) Poincaré series of the multi-index filtration defined by a finite collection of divisorial valuations on the ring $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}^2,0}$ of germs of functions of two variables. We use the method initially elaborated by the authors and Campillo for computing the similar Poincaré series for the valuations defined by the irreducible components of a plane curve singularity. The method is essentially based on the notions of the so-called extended semigroup and of the integral with respect to the Euler characteristic over the projectivization of the space of germs of functions of two variables. The last notion is similar to (and inspired by) the notion of the motivic integration.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 14B05; 16W70

We prove that the numerical invariant [Formula: see text] of a reduced irreducible plane curve singularity germ is non-negative, non-decreasing under blowups and strictly increasing unless the curve is non-singular. This provides a new perspective to understand the question posed by Dimca and Greuel. Moreover, our work can be put in the general framework of discovering monotonic invariants under blowups.
