Linear weighted bounded negativity conjecture

Let XX be a smooth projective surface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let CC be a reduced and irreducible curve on XX, and let DD be a big and nef divisor on XX such that DC>0D\cdot C>0. Linear weighted bounded negativity conjecture. There exists a non-negative integer BW(X)B_W(X), depending only on XX, such that

C2DCBW(X)\frac{C^2}{D\cdot C}\geq -B_W(X)

for all such curves CC and divisors DD. This conjecture proposes a linear bound on the self-intersection C2C^2 in terms of DCD\cdot C, strengthening the quadratic bound predicted by the weighted bounded negativity conjecture; its status is open.
