The deformation conjecture for Du Bois singularities

About 15 years old · traced to

Let D⊂XD\subset X be a reduced Cartier divisor, and let x∈Dx\in D. Assume that DD has only Du Bois singularities in a neighborhood of xx.

Deformation conjecture for Du Bois singularities. Then XX has only Du Bois singularities in a neighborhood of xx.

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.
