The cones of divisors and curves defined by various positivity conditions on a smooth projective variety have been the subject of a great deal of work in algebraic geometry, and by now they are quite well understood. However the analogous…

Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and let $C^{(2)}$ be its second symmetric product. In this note we prove that if $C$ is very general, then the blow-up of $C^{(2)}$ at a very general point has non-polyhedral pseudo-effective…
