Shokurov's conjecture on accumulation of minimal discrepancies

Let nn be a natural number, and consider the minimal discrepancies of nn-dimensional log-terminal singularities, where minimal discrepancy is taken over exceptional divisors in resolutions of singularities.

Shokurov's conjecture. For every natural nn minimal discrepancies of nn-dimensional log-terminal singularities can accumulate only from above.

The conjecture concerns the possible limiting behavior of minimal discrepancies in fixed dimension. The source paper proves the analogous accumulation statement for toric singularities, but the general log-terminal case is not resolved here.
