The effective cone conjecture for Calabi--Yau pairs
Abstract
We formulate an effective cone conjecture for klt Calabi--Yau pairs , pertaining to the structure of the cone of effective divisors modulo the action of the subgroup of pseudo-automorphisms . Assuming the existence of good minimal models in dimension , known to hold in dimension up to , we prove that the effective cone conjecture for is equivalent to the Kawamata--Morrison--Totaro movable cone conjecture for , among other statements. As an application, we show that the movable cone conjecture unconditionally holds for the smooth Calabi--Yau threefolds introduced by Schoen and studied by Namikawa, Grassi and Morrison. We also show that for such a Calabi--Yau threefold , all of its minimal models, apart from itself, have rational polyhedral nef cones.

Comments
v2: Theorem 6.1 is strengthened: The existence of good minimal models is now assumed only for specific varieties (see new Assumption 2.5) instead of every variety of a given dimension. The definition of the group $\mathrm{PsAut}(X,\Delta;f)$ is corrected, and the proofs of Lemmas 5.1, 5.2 are modified accordingly. Exposition is shortened and improved following the referees' feedback
