Harbourne's bounded cohomology conjecture

Let XX be a smooth projective surface that is either rational or defined in characteristic zero. The conjecture asserts that there exists a constant cXc_X such that every prime divisor CC satisfies

h1(X,C)cXh0(X,C).h^1(X,C)\leqslant c_Xh^0(X,C).

This conjecture was proposed as a variant related to SHGH, which corresponds to the stronger value cX=0c_X=0 for blow-ups of generic points of P2\mathbb P^2. The source itself notes that a later corollary gives a counterexample, so the conjecture is refuted.
