Batyrev's boundedness conjecture for the string-theoretic index

Let XX be an rr-dimensional normal complex variety having at most Gorenstein canonical singularities. Its string-theoretic index is the least positive integer ll such that estr(X)1lZe_{\mathrm{str}}(X)\in \frac{1}{l}\mathbb{Z}. Batyrev's boundedness conjecture. The index indstr(X)\operatorname{ind}_{\mathrm{str}}(X) is bounded by a constant C(r)C(r) depending only on rr. This conjecture asks for dimension-dependent uniform control of the denominators of string-theoretic Euler numbers; the supplied source does not state a resolution.
