Stable base loci, movable curves, and small modifications, for toric varieties (Q2491134)

Let \(X\) be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension \(n\). \textit{S. L. Kleiman} [Ann. Math. 84, 293--344 (1966; Zbl 0146.17001)] showed that the dual of the cone of numerical classes of ample divisors is the closure of the cone of numerical classes of effective curves. On the other hand, Boucksom, Demailly, Paun, and Peternell proved that the dual of the cone of numerical classes of effective divisors on \(X\) is the closure of the cone of numerical classes of movable curves. In this paper, the author considers the case where the dual of the cone of divisors on a complete \(\mathbb Q\)-factorial toric variety whose stable base loci have dimension less than \(k\), and obtains the following result which is an affirmative answer of a question asked by Debarre and Lazarsfeld in the toric case: The dual of the cone of divisors on a complete \(\mathbb Q\)-factorial toric variety \(X\) whose stable base loci have dimension less than \(k\) is generated by curves on small modifications of \(X\) that move in families sweeping out the birational transforms of \(k\)-dimensional subvarieties of \(X\).
