The log-terminality conjecture for Mori conic bundles

Let (X,C)(X,C) be a germ of a three-dimensional complex space along a compact reduced curve CC, let (S,0)(S,0) be a germ of a two-dimensional normal complex space, and let f ⁣:(X,C)(S,0)f\colon (X,C)\to (S,0) be a Mori conic bundle: (f1(0))red=C(f^{-1}(0))_{\operatorname{red}}=C, fOX=OSf_*\mathcal{O}_X=\mathcal{O}_S, XX has at worst terminal singularities, and KX-K_X is ample. For a positive integer nn, let DD be a generic member of the linear system nKX|-nK_X|.

Log-terminality conjecture. The divisor pair

(X,KX+1nD)\left(X, K_X+\frac{1}{n}D\right)

is log-terminal.

This conjecture concerns the singularities of generic anticanonical divisors in Mori conic bundles and is presented as important in the study of local structures of extremal contractions. The source does not provide evidence of a resolution, so its status is open.
