The Kawamata--Morrison cone conjecture for Calabi--Yau manifolds

Let XX be a Calabi--Yau manifold, and let Aut(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) be the group of automorphisms of XX. Let Nefe(X)\operatorname{Nef}^e(X) denote the effective nef cone. A rational polyhedral cone Π\Pi is a fundamental domain for the action of Aut(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) on Nefe(X)\operatorname{Nef}^e(X) when

Nefe(X)=gAut(X)gΠ\operatorname{Nef}^e(X)=\bigcup_{g\in\operatorname{Aut}(X)}g^*\Pi

and

IntΠIntgΠ=\operatorname{Int}\Pi\cap\operatorname{Int}g^*\Pi=\varnothing

unless g=IdN1(X)g^*=\operatorname{Id}_{\operatorname{N}^1(X)}. The conjecture also concerns the cone Nefe(X/Y)\operatorname{Nef}^e(X/Y) and its faces corresponding to birational contractions or fiber space structures.

Kawamata--Morrison cone conjecture. There exists such a rational polyhedral fundamental domain Π\Pi, and the number of Aut(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X)-equivalence classes of the relevant faces of Nefe(X/Y)\operatorname{Nef}^e(X/Y) is finite.

There is an analogous birational version involving the movable effective cone. The source describes the conjecture as part of an active literature on the birational geometry of Calabi--Yau varieties.
