Uniqueness of the minimizer of the normalized volume function

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We confirm a conjecture of Chi Li which says that the minimizer of the normalized volume function for a klt singularity is unique up to rescaling. This is achieved by defining stability thresholds for valuations, and then showing that a valuation is a minimizer if and only if it is K-semistable, and that K-semistable valuation is unique up to rescaling. As applications, we prove a finite degree formula for volumes of klt singularities and an effective bound of the local fundamental group of a klt singularity.


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.
