Li's conjecture on normalized-volume minimizers
Li's conjecture on normalized-volume minimizers
Let be a variety of dimension , let be a closed point, and let denote the set of real valuations on centered at . For , write for its normalized volume. Assume that has klt singularities at . Li's normalized-volume minimizer conjecture. There exists a valuation that minimizes . Furthermore, such a minimizer is unique up to scaling and quasimonomial. The existence, uniqueness, and quasimonomiality of normalized-volume minimizers connect valuation theory with K-semistability; the source states the claim as Li's conjecture and presents the paper as proving it, while also giving an example showing that a minimizer need not be divisorial.
