Normalized volume comparison for non-closed points

Let (X,D)(X,D) be a klt pair, let η\eta be a non-closed point, and let Z={η}Z=\overline{\{\eta\}} have dimension dd. Choose a general closed point xZx\in Z, and let n=dimXn=\dim X. Non-closed-point comparison conjecture.

vol^(x,X,D)=vol^(η,X,D)nn(nd)nd.\widehat{\operatorname{vol}}(x,X,D)=\widehat{\operatorname{vol}}(\eta,X,D)\cdot \frac{n^n}{(n-d)^{n-d}}.

The conjecture asserts that, after the stated scaling, non-closed points give no additional information beyond general closed points of their closure.
