Finite Generation for klt Generalized Pairs

The paper records how stuck this was: the first author had discussed the question with Caucher Birkar, Osamu Fujino, Christopher D. Hacon, Junpeng Jiao, Vladimir Lazic and Lingyao Xie, and writes that despite a general feeling that a negative answer was likely, no precise counterexample could be found. The authors also note that, given the limitations of generative AI, they may have missed related literature and welcome corrections.
