A cone conjecture for log Calabi-Yau surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2025-01-29 v1

Abstract

We consider log Calabi-Yau surfaces (Y,D)(Y, D) with singular boundary. In each deformation type, there is a distinguished surface (Ye,De)(Y_e,D_e) such that the mixed Hodge structure on H2(YD)H_2(Y \setminus D) is split. We prove that (1) the action of the automorphism group of (Ye,De)(Y_e,D_e) on its nef effective cone admits a rational polyhedral fundamental domain; and (2) the action of the monodromy group on the nef effective cone of a very general surface in the deformation type admits a rational polyhedral fundamental domain. These statements can be viewed as versions of the Morrison cone conjecture for log Calabi--Yau surfaces. In addition, if the number of components of DD is 6\le 6, we show that the nef cone of YeY_e is rational polyhedral and describe it explicitly. This provides infinite series of new examples of Mori Dream Spaces.
