Abstract

The Morrison–Kawamata Cone Conjecture predicts that the action of the automorphism group on the effective nef cone and the action of the pseudo-automorphism group on the effective movable cone of a klt Calabi–Yau pair have rational, polyhedral fundamental domains. In [CPS], we proved the conjecture for certain blowups of Fano manifolds of index n - 1. In this paper, we consider the Morrison–Kawamata conjecture for blowups of Fano manifolds of index n - 2.
