On Gorenstein $\mathbb{Q}_p$-rational threefold and fourfold singularities

Abstract

We prove that for $n \leq 4$ and $p > 5$, quasi--Gorenstein $F$--pure and $\mathbb{Q}_p$--rational $n$--fold singularities are canonical. This is analogous to the usual fact that rational Gorenstein singularities are canonical. The proof is based on a careful analysis of the dual complex of a dlt modification of a log canonical singularity. The result for $n = 4$ is contingent upon the existence of log resolutions.
