Weak BAB conjecture for anti-canonical volumes

Let XX be a variety of epsilon-Fano type if there is an effective Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor Δ\Delta such that (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is an ϵ\epsilon-klt log Fano pair. For a divisor, write Vol(KX){\rm Vol}(-K_X) for its volume.

Weak BAB conjecture. Fix 0<ϵ<10<\epsilon<1 and an integer n>0n>0. Then there exists a number M(n,ϵ)M(n,\epsilon) depending only on nn and ϵ\epsilon such that, if XX is an nn-dimensional variety of ϵ\epsilon-Fano type, then

Vol(KX)M(n,ϵ).{\rm Vol}(-K_X)\leq M(n,\epsilon).

This volume-boundedness statement is a consequence of the BAB conjecture and is the weaker problem studied in the paper. It is stated as open in general dimension three or higher.
