The extremal orbifold Betti-number and Euler-characteristic conjecture
The extremal orbifold Betti-number and Euler-characteristic conjecture
Let be a positive integer, and consider projective -dimensional varieties with quotient singularities and trivial canonical class. Write for the sum of their orbifold Betti numbers. For odd , write for the orbifold Euler characteristic. Extremal orbifold invariants conjecture. In dimension , the largest possible value of is
For odd , the smallest possible orbifold Euler characteristic is
and the largest is
The conjecture is motivated by three explicit examples whose common Betti-number sum is the largest known for Calabi-Yau threefolds. The source gives no resolution status.
