Finite degree formula for normalized volumes

About 8 years old · traced to

Let

π ⁣:(y∈Y,D′)→(x∈X,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.
