Nagata's ampleness conjecture for blowups of the projective plane

Let XX be the blowup of P2\mathbb{P}^2 at nn very general points, with HH the pullback of a line and E=i=1nEiE=\sum_{i=1}^n E_i the sum of the exceptional divisors. For a real number tt, set

At=tHE.A_t=tH-E.

Nagata's conjecture. If n10n\geq 10 and t>nt>\sqrt{n}, then AtA_t is ample. In particular,

B:=An=nHEB:=A_{\sqrt{n}}=\sqrt{n}H-E

is nef. Nagata proved the conjecture when nn is a perfect square; the general case remains open, with partial results obtained by approximating n\sqrt n with values of tt for which AtA_t is ample.
