Abstract

Let XX be the blowup of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We study the problem of finite generation of the Cox ring of XX. Generalizing examples of Srinivasan and Kurano-Nishida, we consider examples of XX that contain a negative curve of the class HmEH-mE, where HH is the class of a divisor pulled back from the weighted projective plane and EE is the class of the exceptional curve. For any m>0m>0 we construct examples where the Cox ring is finitely generated and examples where it is not.
