Abstract

The big cone of every smooth projective surface X admits a natural decomposition into Zariski chambers. The purpose of this note is to give a simple criterion for the interiors of all Zariski chambers on X to be numerically determined Weyl chambers. Such a criterion generalizes the results of Bauer–Funke [4] on K3 surfaces to arbitrary smooth projective surfaces. In the last section, we study the relation between decompositions of the big cone and elliptic fibrations on some surfaces.
