The negative-curve conjecture for very general blow-ups of the plane
The negative-curve conjecture for very general blow-ups of the plane
Let to be the blow-up of at a set of points in very general position, and let be an integral curve on with negative self-intersection.
Negative-curve conjecture. The curve is a -curve of , meaning that it is a smooth rational curve with self-intersection .
This is a weaker form of the Segre–Harbourne–Gimigliano–Hirschowitz conjecture and concerns the cone of effective curves on very general blow-ups of . The source presents it as a conjecture and gives new evidence, but does not state that it has been resolved.
