Kawamata–Morrison–Totaro geometric cone conjecture

Let (X,B)(X,B) be a projective wlc model over YY, with XX Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial, and assume the relative notation from the arithmetic cone conjecture. A small Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial modification (SQM) for X/YX/Y is a small birational map α:XX\alpha:X\dashrightarrow X^\prime over YY with XX^\prime projective and Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial over YY. Its associated chamber is

Ae(X/Y)=(α1)Nefe(X/Y)Move(X/Y).\textnormal{A}^e(X^\prime/Y)=(\alpha^{-1})_*\textnormal{Nef}^e(X^\prime/Y)\subseteq\textnormal{Mov}^e(X/Y).

Geometric cone conjecture. Suppose (X,B)(X,B) is klt and XX is Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial. Then the number of Aut(X/Y,B)\textnormal{Aut}(X/Y,B)-equivalence classes of faces of Nefe(X/Y)\textnormal{Nef}^e(X/Y) corresponding to birational contractions or fiber space structures is finite, and the number of PsAut(X/Y,B)\textnormal{PsAut}(X/Y,B)-equivalence classes of chambers Ae(X/Y)Move(X/Y)\textnormal{A}^e(X^\prime/Y)\subseteq\textnormal{Mov}^e(X/Y) corresponding to SQMs α:XX\alpha:X\dashrightarrow X^\prime for X/YX/Y is finite.

This is the finiteness, or geometric, counterpart of the cone conjecture: it predicts finitely many contraction faces and movable-cone chambers up to the relevant automorphism actions. The supplied status is unknown.
