The LSC conjecture for families
Let be a flat morphism, let be an -ideal sheaf on , and let be a section of . For a closed point , set and . Suppose that for all , and is a normal -Gorenstein variety. LSC conjecture for families. The function
is lower semi-continuous, where is the set of closed points of with the Zariski topology. This conjecture is known when is smooth and when all fibers have only quotient singularities, but the general statement is open.
