Weak Morrison–Kawamata cone conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let (X/Z,Δ)(X/Z,\Delta) be a klt log Calabi–Yau pair over ZZ, where XX is Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial. Write Ae(X/Z)\mathcal{A}^e(X/Z) for the effective nef cone and Me(X/Z)\mathcal{M}^e(X/Z) for the effective movable cone. A marked small Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial modification (SQM) of X→ZX\to Z is a birational model X0→ZX_0\to Z together with a marking that is an isomorphism in codimension 11; its corresponding chamber is Ae(X0/Z)\mathcal{A}^e(X_0/Z). The groups Aut⁡(X/Z,Δ)\operatorname{Aut}(X/Z,\Delta) and PsAut⁡(X/Z,Δ)\operatorname{PsAut}(X/Z,\Delta) consist respectively of automorphisms and pseudo-automorphisms over ZZ preserving Δ\Delta. Weak Morrison–Kawamata cone conjecture. (1) The number of Aut⁡(X/Z,Δ)\operatorname{Aut}(X/Z,\Delta)-equivalence classes of faces of Ae(X/Z)\mathcal{A}^e(X/Z) corresponding to birational contractions or fiber space structures is finite. (2) The number of PsAut⁡(X/Z,Δ)\operatorname{PsAut}(X/Z,\Delta)-equivalence classes of chambers Ae(X0/Z)\mathcal{A}^e(X_0/Z) in Me(X/Z)\mathcal{M}^e(X/Z) corresponding to marked SQMs X0→ZX_0\to Z of X→ZX\to Z is finite. This weak form asserts finiteness of the relevant nef-cone faces and movable-cone chambers modulo the natural automorphism and pseudo-automorphism actions; it is a finiteness formulation of the Morrison–Kawamata cone conjecture.
