Singularities on the base of a Fano type fibration (Q294273): Difference between revisions

Let \((X,B)\) be a pair with klt singularities, \(f:X\to Z\) a contraction morphism whose fibers are of Fano type and such that \(K_X+B\sim _{\mathbb R,Z}0\). By the canonical bundle formula, we may write \(K_X+B\sim _{\mathbb R}f^*(K_Z+B_Z+M_Z)\) where the discriminant \(B_Z\) measures the singularities of the fibers of \(f\) and the moduli divisor \(M_Z\) measures the variation of \(f\). By a conjecture of Shokurov, it is expected that the singularities of \((Z,B_Z+M_Z)\) can be bounded in terms of the singularities of \((X,B)\). In the paper under review, the author shows that this conjecture is true under the additional assumption that \((F,B_F)\) belongs to a bounded family where if \(F\) is a general fiber of \(f\), then \(K_F+B_F=(K_X+B)|_F\).
