Chen–Wang conjecture on alpha-invariants and Kähler–Einstein metrics

Let XX be a Fano variety with at most quotient singularities, and for each nNn\in\mathbb{N} let lctn,2(X)\mathrm{lct}_{n,2}(X) be the infimum of the log canonical thresholds of pencils in nKX|-nK_X|. Chen–Wang conjecture. If

lctn,2(X)>dim(X)dim(X)+1\mathrm{lct}_{n,2}(X)>\frac{\mathrm{dim}(X)}{\mathrm{dim}(X)+1}

for every nNn\in\mathbb{N}, then XX is Kähler–Einstein. This is a proposed analytic criterion for the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on Fano orbifolds; the supplied text gives no resolution.
