The resultant divisor is negative
Fix two integers $1\leq d<e$. We study the birational geometry of a parameter space for pairs of homogeneous polynomials of degrees $d$ and $e$ in two variables (in which the higher degree polynomial is well defined only up to a multiple of the lower degree polynomial). We show that one can run the MMP on this space, and that it eventually contracts the resultant divisor.
