Conjectural product formula for normalized volumes of klt singularities

Let (xii(Xi,Di))(x_i i (X_i,D_i)) be klt singularities for i=1,2i=1,2, and write ni:=dimXin_i:=\dim X_i. Let πi:X1×X2Xi\pi_i:X_1\times X_2\to X_i be the projections. Conjectural product formula.

vol^((x1,x2),X1×X2,π1D1+π2D2)(n1+n2)n1+n2=vol^(x1,X1,D1)n1n1vol^(x2,X2,D2)n2n2.\frac{\widehat{\mathrm{vol}}((x_1,x_2),X_1\times X_2,\pi_1^*D_1+\pi_2^*D_2)}{(n_1+n_2)^{n_1+n_2}}=\frac{\widehat{\mathrm{vol}}(x_1,X_1,D_1)}{n_1^{n_1}}\cdot\frac{\widehat{\mathrm{vol}}(x_2,X_2,D_2)}{n_2^{n_2}}.

The formula would express multiplicativity of normalized local volumes, after the dimension-dependent normalization, under products of klt singularities. It is suggested by the equality established for the product valuations in the preceding lemma; the general conjectural product formula remains open in the source.
