Finite degree formula for normalized volumes

Let

π ⁣:(yY,D)(xX,D)\pi\colon (y\in Y,D')\to (x\in X,D)

be a dominant finite morphism between klt singularities satisfying

KY+D=π(KX+D).K_Y+D'=\pi^*(K_X+D).

Finite degree formula. The normalized volumes satisfy

deg(π)vol^(x,X,D)=vol^(y,Y,D).\deg(\pi)\cdot \widehat{\operatorname{vol}}(x,X,D)=\widehat{\operatorname{vol}}(y,Y,D').

The paper notes that this formula is known when (X,x)(X,x) lies on a Gromov–Hausdorff limit of Kähler–Einstein Fano manifolds, but presents the general statement as conjectural.
