Kawamata–Morrison Cone Conjecture for Calabi–Yau threefolds

About 10 years old · traced to

Let XX be a Calabi–Yau threefold and let Aut⁡(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) be the group of automorphisms of XX. Define

Nef⁡e(X):=Nef⁡(X)∩Eff⁡(X).\operatorname{Nef}^{e}(X):=\operatorname{Nef}(X)\cap\operatorname{Eff}(X).

A rational polyhedral cone is a cone generated by finitely many rational classes, and a fundamental domain for a group action is a region whose translates cover the space up to the usual boundary identifications.

Kawamata–Morrison Cone Conjecture. There exists a rational polyhedral cone Π\Pi contained in the cone spanned by Chern classes of nef effective Cartier divisors, Nef⁡e(X)\operatorname{Nef}^{e}(X), which is a fundamental domain for the action of Aut⁡(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) on Nef⁡e(X)\operatorname{Nef}^{e}(X).

The conjecture is related to the birational geometry of Calabi–Yau threefolds and, in particular, predicts that when Aut⁡(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) is finite, the cone on which it acts should be rational polyhedral. The source gives no resolution status.
