Let M be an irreducible holomorphically symplectic manifold. The faces of the Kahler cone of M are supported by hyperplanes H_i orthogonal to certain homology classes, which we call monodromy birationally minimal (MBM) classes. It turns out that the MBM classes are deformation-invariant (as soon as the class in question stays of type (1,1)) and that the Kahler cone is a connected component of a complement of the positive cone to the union of all H_i. This allows us to prove some results towards the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for hyperkahler manifolds. This is a joint work with Misha Verbitsky.
