Sufficiently general arcs have minimal valuation above the Nagata threshold

Let X=P2X=\mathbb P^2 with a fixed point OO, and let CC be an arc in the valuative tree QM\mathcal{QM} of quasi-monomial valuations centred at OO. Write μ^(C,s)\widehat\mu(C,s) for the asymptotic multiplicity invariant associated with the valuation indexed by s[1,+)s\in[1,+\infty). Here, CC is understood to be sufficiently general in the sense specified later in the source.

Minimal valuation conjecture. If CC is sufficiently general and s8+136s\geqslant 8+\frac{1}{36}, then

μ^(C,s)=s.\widehat\mu(C,s)=\sqrt{s}.

This is expected to follow from the absence of supraminimal curves along sufficiently general arcs, and it would imply Nagata's conjecture that the inverse of the tt-point Seshadri constant of P2\mathbb P^2 equals t\sqrt t for t9t\geqslant9.
