Broustet–Gongyo's Calabi–Yau type conjecture for polarized endomorphisms

Let XX be a normal projective variety admitting a polarized endomorphism ff, meaning that fHqHf^*H\sim qH for some ample divisor HH and integer q>1q>1. A variety XX is of Calabi–Yau type if there is an effective Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor Δ\Delta such that (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) is log canonical and

KX+ΔQ0.K_X+\Delta\sim_{\mathbb{Q}}0.

Broustet–Gongyo's conjecture. Every normal projective variety admitting a polarized endomorphism is of Calabi–Yau type. This has been proved for surfaces, smooth threefolds, and rationally connected smooth projective varieties, but remains open in general.
