The anticanonical cylinder conjecture for log del Pezzo surfaces

Let SS be a log del Pezzo surface. Let Amp(S)\mathrm{Amp}(S) be its ample cone in Pic(S)R\operatorname{Pic}(S)\otimes\mathbb{R}, and let Ampcyl(S)\mathrm{Amp}^{cyl}(S) be the set of ample classes HH for which SS has an HH-polar cylinder. A cylinder is (KS)(-K_S)-polar when it is polarized by the anticanonical class KS-K_S. Anticanonical cylinder conjecture. The surface SS has a (KS)(-K_S)-polar cylinder if and only if Ampcyl(S)=Amp(S)\mathrm{Amp}^{cyl}(S)=\mathrm{Amp}(S). This proposes that the existence of an anticanonically polarized cylinder is equivalent to every ample polarization admitting a cylinder; the cited preceding results provide evidence for this supposition, but its general validity is not established here.
