The degree-uniform bounded negativity conjecture for smooth surfaces in projective three-space
The degree-uniform bounded negativity conjecture for smooth surfaces in projective three-space
Fix an integer . A smooth surface of degree in is a smooth projective surface embedded in by a homogeneous equation of degree ; its negativity bound is a uniform lower bound for self-intersection numbers of its curves.
Degree-uniform bounded negativity conjecture. There exists a constant , depending only on , such that every smooth surface of degree in has negativity bound .
This conjecture seeks a bound uniform across the connected family of smooth degree- surfaces, rather than a bound chosen separately for each surface. The source gives no resolution evidence.
