The Kawamata–Morrison–Totaro cone conjecture for klt Calabi–Yau pairs

About 2 years old · traced to

Let f ⁣:(X,Δ)→Sf\colon (X,\Delta)\to S be a klt Calabi–Yau pair, meaning that (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is klt and

KX+Δ≡S0.K_X+\Delta\equiv_S 0.

Write Ae(X/S)\mathcal{A}^e(X/S) and Me(X/S)\mathcal{M}^e(X/S) for the nef effective and movable effective cones, respectively; let Aut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{Aut}(X/S,\Delta) denote automorphisms over SS preserving Δ\Delta, and let PsAut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{PsAut}(X/S,\Delta) denote pseudo-automorphisms over SS preserving Δ\Delta. A Mori face, Mori chamber, marked small Q\mathbb{Q}-factorial modification (SQM), and rational polyhedral fundamental domain are understood in the usual relative sense.

Kawamata–Morrison–Totaro cone conjecture. The group Aut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{Aut}(X/S,\Delta) acts on Ae(X/S)\mathcal{A}^e(X/S) with finitely many orbits of Mori faces, while PsAut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{PsAut}(X/S,\Delta) acts on Me(X/S)\mathcal{M}^e(X/S) with finitely many orbits of Mori chambers and faces. Equivalently, there are finitely many contractions of XX over SS up to Aut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{Aut}(X/S,\Delta) and finitely many marked SQMs of XX over SS up to PsAut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{PsAut}(X/S,\Delta). These finiteness statements are equivalently expressed by the existence of rational polyhedral fundamental domains

Π⊆Ae(X/S),Π′⊆Me(X/S)\Pi\subseteq \mathcal{A}^e(X/S),\qquad \Pi'\subseteq \mathcal{M}^e(X/S)

for the actions of Aut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{Aut}(X/S,\Delta) and PsAut⁡(X/S,Δ)\operatorname{PsAut}(X/S,\Delta), respectively.

This is the relative cone conjecture for klt Calabi–Yau pairs, extending the finiteness of contractions and minimal models modulo automorphisms and pseudo-automorphisms. The source explains that it is known in dimension two and in several special settings, but remains widely open for Calabi–Yau varieties in dimension at least three.
