The optimality conjecture for crepant resolutions of log-terminal singularities

Let YY be an irreducible Q\mathbb{Q}-Gorenstein variety, and let

π ⁣:XY\pi\colon\mathcal{X}\to Y

be a crepant resolution such that X\mathcal{X} has affine diagonal. Optimality conjecture for crepant resolutions. Then YY has log-terminal singularities.

The conjecture asserts that the existence theorem for crepant resolutions by smooth Artin stacks cannot be extended beyond the log-terminal case under the stated affine-diagonal hypothesis. The source presents it as reasonable in light of the convergence criterion for the relevant motivic integral and the motivic change-of-variables formula; its resolution status is not specified.
