The rationality conjecture for a Du Bois divisor
The rationality conjecture for a Du Bois divisor
Let be a reduced scheme of finite type over a field of characteristic zero, and let be a Cartier divisor with Du Bois singularities. Assume that has rational singularities.
Rationality conjecture for a Du Bois divisor. Then has rational singularities, and in particular is Cohen–Macaulay.
This is proposed as a conjectural generalization of the result that a Du Bois Cartier divisor with smooth complement forces the ambient variety to have rational singularities. The source gives no resolution of this stronger statement.
