Let $\pi: S\to C$ be a minimal conic bundle over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. That is, $S$ is a geometrically irreducible smooth surface with Picard rank $2$ and $C$ a geometrically irreducible smooth curve over $k$ and each fiber of $\pi$ is isomorphic to a plane conic. Is there an explicit description of the nef and ample cone of $S$? If not in general, maybe when $C=\mathbb{P}^1_k$?

    $\begingroup$ There is some discussion of nef and effective cones on ruled surfaces in Lazarsfeld's Positivity in algebraic geometry I, §1.5A. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for. $\endgroup$ Commented May 20, 2020 at 1:01
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks, but I this is not exactly what I need. Note that $\pi$ can have some reducible fibers whereas in Lazarsfeld all fibers are a $\mathbb{P}^1$. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Note that if the Picard rank of $S$ is 2, then $\pi$ cannot have any reducible fibres. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You are right. What I meant is that there can be fibers that are not geometrically irreducible (I am not working over an algebraically closed field). $\endgroup$
