Abstract
We show that the minimum weight of a weighted blow-up of $\mathbf A^d$ with $\varepsilon$-log canonical singularities is bounded by a constant depending only on $\varepsilon $ and $d$. This was conjectured by Birkar.
Using the recent classification of $4$-dimensional empty simplices by Iglesias-Vali\~no and Santos, we work out an explicit bound for blowups of $\mathbf A^4$ with terminal singularities: the smallest weight is always at most $32$, and at most $6$ in all but finitely many cases.
