Examples 5.6.

In higher dimension, quotient singularities are still log terminal. Fix n>0n>0 and let H⊂ℂ​ℙn+1H\subset\mathbb{C}{\mathbb{P}}^{n+1} be a smooth degree dd hypersurface. The affine cone over HH has only canonical singularities iff d≤n+1d\leq n+1.

In particular, the ordinary double point x2+y2+z2+t2=0x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+t^{2}=0 has only canonical singularities but it is not a quotient singularity.

The hypersurface singularities of type A−D−EA-D-E are canonical.
