The cone, ampleness, and contraction conjecture for four-dimensional generalized Kummer varieties

From papers

Let (X,g)(X,g) be a polarized variety deformation equivalent to a four-dimensional generalized Kummer variety. Let (R,R)(R,R) denote the Beauville–Bogomolov form on homology. The generalized Kummer cone and contraction conjecture.

NE1(X)=RN1(X,Z):(R,R)3/2, Rg>0.\mathrm{NE}_1(X)=\left\langle R\in \mathrm{N}_1(X,\mathbb Z):(R,R)\geq -3/2,\ R\cdot g>0\right\rangle.

A divisor class hh on XX is ample if and only if hR>0h\cdot R>0 for every RN1(X,Z)R\in \mathrm{N}_1(X,\mathbb Z) satisfying gR>0g\cdot R>0 and (R,R)3/2(R,R)\geq -3/2. Moreover, every extremal ray RR with (R,R)<0(R,R)<0 has one of these interpretations: if (R,R)=1/6(R,R)=-1/6, there is a divisor EXE\subset X with [E]=2e[E]=2e, e=6Re=6R, ruled over an abelian surface with fibers of class RR; if (R,R)=2/3(R,R)=-2/3, there is a divisor FXF\subset X with F=3RF=3R, ruled over an abelian surface with fibers of class RR; and if (R,R)=3/2(R,R)=-3/2, there is a plane PXP\subset X whose lines have class RR. The conjecture gives a predicted numerical Mori and ample cone together with geometric descriptions of all negative extremal rays in this four-dimensional generalized Kummer case; the supplied source gives no resolution, so it remains open.
