Abstract

We give a large family of weighted projective planes, blown up at a smooth point, that do not have finitely generated Cox rings. We then use the method of Castravet and Tevelev to prove that the moduli space $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ of stable $n$-pointed genus-zero curves does not have a finitely generated Cox ring if $n$ is at least $13$.
