Uniqueness of the minimizer of the normalized volume function (Q2041480)

The authors confirm a conjecture of \textit{C. Li} [Math. Z. 289, No. 1--2, 491--513 (2018; Zbl 1423.14025)] which says that the minimizer of the normalized volume function for a klt singularity is unique up to rescaling. They also give applications such as a finite degree formula for normalized volumes and an effective bound on the order of the local fundamental group of the germ of a klt singularity.
