Weak-BAB conjecture on boundedness of anti-canonical volumes

Fix a positive integer nn and a real number ε>0\varepsilon>0. Let D\mathfrak{D} be the set of all log pairs (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) such that XX is a projective variety of dimension nn, (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) has ε\varepsilon-log canonical singularities for some boundary R\mathbb{R}-divisor Δ\Delta, and (KX+Δ)-(K_X+\Delta) is ample. Weak-BAB conjecture. There exists a positive real number M(n,ε)M(n,\varepsilon), depending only on nn and ε\varepsilon, such that

{volX(KX)(X,Δ)D for some Δ}\{\operatorname{vol}_X(-K_X)\mid (X,\Delta)\in\mathfrak{D}\text{ for some }\Delta\}

is bounded above by M(n,ε)M(n,\varepsilon).

This volume-boundedness statement is a necessary consequence of the BAB conjecture. It is proved in characteristic zero in every dimension as a consequence of Birkar's proof of BAB, while the positive-characteristic situation considered in the paper is only established in the stated three-dimensional setting.
