The list conjecture for negative curves on blown-up surfaces

From papers

Let X=BlrYX=\operatorname{Bl}_r Y be the blow-up of a surface YY at rr points. Let CXC\subset X be a nonexceptional integral curve with C2<0C^2<0. List conjecture. There exist a positive number ν=νX\nu=\nu_X and a nonnegative integer π=πX\pi=\pi_X such that CC is a (n,p)(-n,p)-curve for some 1nν1\leqslant n\leqslant \nu and 0pπ0\leqslant p\leqslant \pi; equivalently, the possible negative curves belong to a finite list of types. This conjecture proposes simultaneous bounds on the parameters of negative curves and is presented as a consequence of the expected boundedness of negativity.
