The generalized volume bounds for Gorenstein Fano varieties with canonical singularities

Let XX be a Gorenstein Fano variety with canonical singularities. The source's Theorem A' gives, for d=2d=2, (KX)29(-K_X)^2\leq 9 with equality if and only if XP2X\cong\mathbb{P}^2; for d=3d=3, (KX)372(-K_X)^3\leq72 with equality if and only if XP(3,1,1,1)X\cong\mathbb{P}(3,1,1,1) or XP(6,4,1,1)X\cong\mathbb{P}(6,4,1,1); and for d4d\geq4, (KX)d2td12(-K_X)^d\leq2t_{d-1}^2 with equality if and only if XP(Qd)X\cong\mathbb{P}(Q'_d). Generalized volume-bounds conjecture. The results of Theorem A' hold for Gorenstein Fano varieties with canonical singularities. The toric version is proved in the source; the extension beyond the toric case is posed as a conjecture.
