Extract

We shall prove below part of a conjecture made by Shigefumi Mori, David Morrison and Ian Morrison in the course of their investigations into the properties of isolated terminal cyclic quotient singularities of prime Gorenstein index in dimension four [1]. The reader of the present paper need have no knowledge of algebraic geometry, because we quickly reduce the problem to one about the geometry of numbers that can be solved by elementary calculations. The calculations are very lengthy and not quite routine, so what the reader does need is either patience, if he intends to check them, or faith, if he does not. We give only part of the calculations below. Full details may be obtained from the author.*
