Affine-space Abhyankar valuation conjecture for log canonical thresholds

Let X=AknX=\mathbb{A}^n_k, where Fpk=k\mathbb{F}_p\subset k=\overline{k}, and let a\mathfrak{a}_\star be a graded sequence of ideals on XX with lct(a)<\operatorname{lct}(\mathfrak{a}_\star)<\infty, vanishing only at a closed point xXx\in X.

Affine-space Abhyankar valuation conjecture. The following versions should hold:

  • Weak version: some Abhyankar valuation centered at xx computes lct(a)\operatorname{lct}(\mathfrak{a}_\star).
  • Strong version: every valuation of transcendence degree 00 over Akn\mathbb{A}^n_k, centered at xx, and computing lct(a)\operatorname{lct}(\mathfrak{a}_\star) is Abhyankar.

This is the affine-space reduction proposed as a more approachable form of the preceding conjecture. The source gives no resolution.
