Index of coregularity zero log Calabi–Yau pairs

We study the index of log Calabi–Yau pairs (X, B) of coregularity 0. We show that 2λ(KX + B) ∼ 0, where λ is the Weil index of (X, B). This is in contrast to the case of klt Calabi–Yau varieties, where the index can grow doubly exponentially with the dimension. Our sharp bound on the index extends to the context of generalized log Calabi–Yau pairs, semi-log canonical pairs, and isolated log canonical singularities of coregularity 0. As a consequence, we show that the index of a variety appearing in the Gross–Siebert program or in the Kontsevich–Soibelman program is at most 2. Finally, we discuss applications to Calabi–Yau varieties endowed with a finite group action, including holomorphic symplectic varieties endowed with a purely nonsymplectic automorphism.
