Strong Nagata conjecture for positive-genus curves

About 14 years old · traced to

Let XnX_n be the projective plane blown up at nn general points, and let CC be an irreducible curve of genus g>0g>0 on XnX_n. Let (3;19,0n−9)(3;1^9,0^{n-9}) denote the indicated plane linear-system class, and let (CK)(CK)-equivalence mean equivalence under the Cremona–isometry action. Strong Nagata conjecture. One has C2>0C^2>0, except when n≥9n\geq9, g=1g=1, and CC is (CK)(CK)-equivalent to (3;19,0n−9)(3;1^9,0^{n-9}); in that exceptional case C2=0C^2=0. The source describes this as plausible and notes that it would follow from the strong negativity conjecture.
