The maximal-index conjecture for klt Calabi-Yau varieties

Let n2n\geq2, let XX be the weighted Calabi-Yau hypersurface constructed in the source, and let GG be the cyclic subgroup acting freely in codimension one. Let m=Gm=|G|. Maximal-index conjecture. The quotient X/GX/G has index mm, and in every dimension n2n\geq2 this is the largest possible index for a klt Calabi-Yau variety.

The first assertion depends on the conjectured faithfulness of the action on the canonical form; the source reports that the relevant calculation is verified computationally through dimension 3030. The stronger optimality assertion remains without a stated resolution.
