Abstract

Let C(0,1]\mathcal C\subset(0,1] be a set satisfying the descending chain condition. We show that any accumulation point of volumes of log canonical surfaces (X,B)(X, B) with coefficients in C\mathcal C can be realized as the volume of a log canonical surface with big and nef KX+BK_X+B and coefficients in C{1}\overline{\mathcal C}\cup\{1\}, with at least one coefficient in Acc(C){1}Acc(\mathcal C)\cup\{1\}. As a corollary, if CQ\overline{\mathcal C}\subset\mathbb Q then all accumulation points of volumes are rational numbers, solving a conjecture of Blache. For the set of standard coefficients C2={11nnN}{1}\mathcal C_2=\{1-\frac{1}{n}\mid n\in\mathbb N\}\cup\{1\} we prove that the minimal accumulation point is between 172422\frac1{7^2\cdot 42^2} and 1422\frac1{42^2}.
