Weyl and Zariski chambers on \(K3\) surfaces (Q2890545)

The aim of the paper under review is to study decompositions of the big cone of a \(K3\) surface. The nef cone and the positive cone are classically well known. Concerning that the big cone of a \(K3\) surface admits decompositions into Zariski chambers and simple Weyl chambers, they compare these two decompositions. The former is related to linear systems and the latter to negative curves on a \(K3\) surface.NEWLINENEWLINEAfter interpreting Zariski and simple Weyl chambers into subsets of the set of simple roots, first a condition is given in terms of irreducible \((-2)\)-curves for these two decompositions to coincide. (This is a correction of a statement given by the first author, \textit{A. Küronya} and \textit{T. Szemberg} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 576, 209--233 (2004; Zbl 1055.14007)].) A \(K3\) surface whose Zariski and simple Weyl decompositions of the big cone coincide and not coincide is respectively given. Secondly they study the inclusions of (the interiors of) Zariski chambers and simple Weyl chambers. Lastly and surprisingly, they show that even if these decompositions do not coincide, the numbers of chambers appearing in Zariski and simple Weyl decompositions are the same.
