Shibata's refined multiplicity conjecture for log canonical complete intersection singularities

About 7 years old · traced to

Let XX be an nn-dimensional variety that is locally a complete intersection with log canonical singularities. For a closed point xx of XX, let emb(X,x)\mathrm{emb}(X,x) be the embedding dimension at xx and let lct(mx)\mathrm{lct}(\mathfrak m_x) be the log canonical threshold of the maximal ideal mx\mathfrak m_x. Write e(OX,x)e(\mathcal O_{X,x}) for the Hilbert–Samuel multiplicity. Shibata's refined multiplicity conjecture.

e(OX,x)≤2n−⌈lct(mx)⌉,e(\mathcal O_{X,x})\le 2^{n-\lceil\mathrm{lct}(\mathfrak m_x)\rceil},

and equality holds if and only if

emb(X,x)=2n−⌈lct(mx)⌉.\mathrm{emb}(X,x)=2n-\lceil\mathrm{lct}(\mathfrak m_x)\rceil.

The source presents this as a refinement of Watanabe's conjecture, allowing log canonical rather than canonical singularities and incorporating the log canonical threshold and embedding dimension. No resolution is supplied in the given text.
