Abstract: This paper presents a formula for the multiplier ideals of a monomial space curve. The formula is obtained from a careful choice of log resolution. We construct a toric blowup of affine space in such a way that a log resolution of the monomial curve may be constructed from this toric variety in a well controlled manner. The construction exploits a theorem of González Pérez and Teissier (2002).
