The Ciliberto et al. Question on Effective Divisors of Positive Self-Intersection

Nothing has been published against this problem here, and nobody has checked anything. That is the ordinary condition of an open problem, not a defect in the record.

Statement

Ciliberto, Knutsen, Lesieutre, Lozovanu, Miranda, Mustopa and Testa asked a question about effective divisors of positive self-intersection on smooth projective surfaces. The answer is negative, witnessed by a very non-movable effective divisor.

Context

A question posed by seven authors on positivity of effective divisors on surfaces, answered negatively.

    The author states the main result is obtained by generative AI, particularly ChatGPT 5.5 Pro and the Rethlas system. This is the fourth note in a short series where the same author publishes machine-obtained answers to named questions in birational geometry, each with the same one-sentence disclosure.
