The cone-of-curves formulation of the negative-curve conjecture
The cone-of-curves formulation of the negative-curve conjecture
Let be the blow-up of at a set of points in very general position. Write
as in the source, where is the closure of the union of the facets of the boundary of the effective cone and is supported by . Let and denote the corresponding half-spaces, and let and be the positive cone and its boundary.
Cone-of-curves formulation. The extremal rays of that do not lie on are spanned by classes of -curves, and
In particular,
This is presented as a more precise formulation of the negative-curve conjecture and describes the boundary of the effective cone for very general blow-ups of . The source does not give evidence that this formulation has been solved.
