On isolated singularities with noninvertible finite endomorphism

Abstract

We prove that if $\phi:(X,0)\to (X,0)$ is a finite endomorphism of an isolated singularity such that $\operatorname{deg}(\phi)\geq 2$ and $\phi$ is \'etale in codimension 1, then $X$ is $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein and log canonical.
