Milnor–Tjurina conjecture for Q-Gorenstein smoothings

Let (V,0)(V,0) be a non-Gorenstein surface singularity admitting a Q\mathbb Q-Gorenstein smoothing, meaning a smoothing obtained as an rr-cyclic quotient of a smoothing of the index-one cover. Milnor–Tjurina conjecture for Q-Gorenstein smoothings.

μτ1,\mu\geq \tau-1,

with equality if and only if (V,0)(V,0) is quasi-homogeneous. Since the source notes that απ=0\alpha_\pi=0 for such smoothings, this is the corresponding conjectural bound for the difference between the Milnor and Tjurina numbers. It is verified there when the canonical cover is a hypersurface singularity, while the general case is left open.
