The bounded negativity conjecture for blow-ups of the plane at generic points

At least 16 years old · documented by

Let XX be obtained by blowing up r>9r>9 generic points of P2\mathbb{P}^{2}. A prime divisor is an irreducible divisor C⊂XC\subset X.

Bounded negativity conjecture for generic blow-ups. Then C2≥−1C^2\ge -1 for every prime divisor CC, with equality if and only if CC is a smooth rational curve with KX⋅C=−1K_X\cdot C=-1.

This is presented as a case of bounded negativity not yet known for blow-ups at more than nine generic points, where the effective cone is not finitely generated.
