McKernan's conjecture on singularities of Mori fibre space bases
Assume and . A Mori fibre space is a contraction whose relative canonical divisor is anti-ample; an -lc variety has log discrepancies at least , and -factorial means every Weil divisor has a suitable positive multiple that is Cartier.
McKernan's conjecture. There is such that if is a Mori fibre space, where is an -lc -factorial variety of dimension , then is -lc.
The conjecture generalises known results for threefold Mori fibre spaces and is known in the toric case. Its validity in higher dimension is presented as an open problem.
