Log Canonical Thresholds and Generalized Eckardt Points

Let $X$ be a smooth hypersurface of degree $n\geq 3$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We prove that the log canonical threshold of $H\in|-K_X|$ is at least $\frac{n-1}{n}$. Under the assumption of the Log minimal model program, we also prove that a hyperplane section $H$ of $X$ is a cone in $\mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ over a smooth hypersurface of degree $n$ in $\mathbb{P}^{n-2}$ if and only if the log canonical threshold of $H$ is $\frac{n-1}{n}$.
