The factoriality conjecture for threefolds with ordinary multiple points

Let XP4X \subset \mathbb{P}^4 be a hypersurface of degree dd whose singular locus consists of kk ordinary multiple points p1,,pkp_1,\ldots,p_k of multiplicities m1,,mkm_1,\ldots,m_k. Factoriality conjecture. If

i=1k(mi1)2<(d1)2,\sum_{i=1}^k (m_i-1)^2 < (d-1)^2,

then XX is factorial.

This conjecture generalizes results of Ciliberto, Di Gennaro and Cheltsov on factoriality and is motivated by the known criterion for threefolds with ordinary double and triple points. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source context.
