This article is the third of a series of work on a new approach to the study of singularities of various objects in a local, two-dimensional setting. Our focus in the present paper is on multiplier ideals and singularity exponents. In the discussion below, we fix an equicharacteristic zero, two-dimensional regular local ring (R, m) with algebraically closed residue field. An important example is the ring R = (Do o? holomorphic germs at the origin in C2. In [FJ1], we introduced the space V consisting of all R+U{+00}-valued valuations on R centered at m, and normalized by ^(m) = 1. This space is naturally a tree: it is a union of (uncountably many) real segments patched together in such a way that V remains homotopic to a point. It is also an R-tree in the classical sense for a natural metric. We hence call V the valuative tree. It encodes in a natural way all possible blowups of R centered at m and therefore gives a way of measuring quite precisely singularities of different kinds of objects. The points in V that are not ends form the subtree Vqm of quasimonomial valuations. These valuations, which can alternatively be characterized as Abhyankar valuations of rank 1 or as
