Bounded negativity, Harbourne constants and transversal arrangements of curves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for every complex projective surface X there exists a number b ( X ) such that C 2 ≥ - b ( X ) holds for all reduced curves C ⊂ X . For birational surfaces f : Y → X there have been introduced certain invariants (Harbourne constants) relating to the effect the numbers b ( X ) , b ( Y ) and the complexity of the map f . These invariants have been studied when f is the blowup of all singular points of an arrangement of lines in ℙ 2 , of conics and of cubics. In the present note we extend these considerations to blowups of ℙ 2 at singular points of arrangements of curves of arbitrary degree d . The main result in this direction is stated in Theorem B. We also considerably generalize and modify the approach witnessed so far and study transversal arrangements of sufficiently positive curves on arbitrary surfaces with the non-negative Kodaira dimension. The main result obtained in this general setting is presented in Theorem A.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
