The deformation conjecture for Du Bois singularities
Let be a reduced Cartier divisor, and let . Assume that has only Du Bois singularities in a neighborhood of .
Deformation conjecture for Du Bois singularities. Then has only Du Bois singularities in a neighborhood of .
This conjecture asks whether Du Bois singularities deform from a reduced Cartier divisor to the ambient variety. The source states that it was settled by Kovács and Schwede, so the conjecture is no longer open.
