Existence of plt blow-ups from positive local volume

About 6 years old · traced to

Let n≥2n\geq 2 be a positive integer and let η,ϵ\eta,\epsilon be positive real numbers. Let x∈(X,Δ)x\in (X,\Delta) be an nn-dimensional klt singularity, with

Δ=∑i=1maiΔi,\Delta=\sum_{i=1}^m a_i\Delta_i,

where each Δi≥0\Delta_i\geq 0 is a Weil divisor. Let vol⁡^(x,X,Δ)\widehat{\operatorname{vol}}(x,X,\Delta) denote its local volume. Conjecture on plt blow-ups. There exists a positive real number δ\delta, depending only on n,ηn,\eta and ϵ\epsilon, such that if ai>ηa_i>\eta for every ii and vol⁡^(x,X,Δ)>ϵ\widehat{\operatorname{vol}}(x,X,\Delta)>\epsilon, then x∈(X,Δ)x\in(X,\Delta) admits a δ\delta-plt blow-up.

This is the converse to the paper’s proved lower-bound direction relating positive local volume to singularities admitting plt blow-ups. The conjecture is confirmed in the special cases treated by the paper, while it is open in general.
