Shokurov's minimal discrepancy conjecture
Shokurov's minimal discrepancy conjecture
Let be a normal affine variety of complex dimension with an isolated singularity at that is numerically -Gorenstein. Write for its minimal discrepancy. Shokurov's conjecture.
Moreover, the singularity is smooth if and only if . This conjecture relates minimal discrepancy to smoothness and is open for varieties of complex dimension greater than .
