Existence of complements conjecture for log canonical pairs
Let be a positive integer, let be a DCC set, and let be an -complementary pair of dimension whose boundary coefficients lie in . An -complement means that is log canonical,
and
over a neighborhood of .
Existence of Complements Conjecture. There exists a positive integer , depending only on and , such that every such pair has an -complement . Moreover, if the closure of belongs to , then can be chosen so that .
Uniform complements are a key input for canonical bundle formulas and boundedness arguments. The conjecture is known in dimensions at most three, while the general case remains open.
