Ordinary double point volume gap conjecture

Let nn be a positive integer, and let an ordinary double point denote the corresponding nn-dimensional klt quadratic singularity. Ordinary double point volume gap conjecture. The second largest local volume of an nn-dimensional klt singularity is

2(n1)n,2(n-1)^n,

and this value is achieved only by the ordinary double point. This refines the expected discreteness of local volumes and would have consequences for K-moduli of cubic hypersurfaces; the source says that even the existence of a volume gap appears nontrivial.
