The ascending chain conjecture for canonical thresholds

About 25 years old · traced to

For an nn-dimensional variety XX and an integral effective divisor SS, define

Tncan ⁣:={ct⁡(X,S)∣dim⁡X=n, S is integral and effective}.\mathcal{T}_{n}^{\textup{can}} \colon = \{\operatorname{ct}(X, S) \mid \dim X = n,\ S \text{ is integral and effective}\}.

Canonical-threshold ACC conjecture. The set Tncan\mathcal{T}_{n}^{\textup{can}} satisfies the ascending chain condition.

This conjecture is motivated by the role of canonical thresholds in the Sarkisov program and is analogous to ACC conjectures for log canonical thresholds and minimal log discrepancies. The supplied paper's abstract states that the threefold case is proved, so the general nn-dimensional assertion remains open here.
