Minimal-volume canonical Calabi–Yau divisor conjecture

Let s0=2s_0=2 and sm=sm1(sm11)+1s_m=s_{m-1}(s_{m-1}-1)+1 for m1m\geq 1 be Sylvester's sequence. For a positive integer nn, let XX be the nn-fold given by the canonical Calabi–Yau hypersurface construction in Proposition 1. Minimal-volume canonical Calabi–Yau divisor conjecture. The ample Weil divisor OX(1)\mathcal{O}_X(1) has minimal volume among all ample Weil divisors on canonical nn-folds XX satisfying KXQ0K_X\sim_{\mathbb{Q}}0. The conjecture is motivated by exact minimal-volume results for the cited low-dimensional cases, but its assertion in all dimensions remains open.
