The vanishing conjecture for singularity-category K-theory of minimal models

About 6 years old · traced to

Let RR be a 3-dimensional Gorenstein ring with rational singularities, and let

X⟶Spec⁡RX\longrightarrow \operatorname{Spec} R

a minimal model. Write Dsg(X)\mathop{\rm D}_{\sf sg}(X) for the singularity category of XX.

Vanishing conjecture. The Grothendieck group of the singularity category vanishes:

K0(Dsg(X))=0.\mathop{\rm K}_{0}(\mathop{\rm D}_{\sf sg}(X))=0.

This conjecture asks whether minimal models in this setting have trivial singularity-category K-theory, even when the minimal model is not smooth and its singularity category is therefore generally nonzero. Its resolution status is not specified in the supplied text.
