Singularities on the base of a Fano type fibration

Abstract: Let

f c o l o n X o Z

be a Mori fibre space. McKernan conjectured that the singularities of

Z

are bounded in terms of the singularities of

X

. Shokurov generalised this to pairs: let

(X, B)

be a klt pair and

f c o l o n X o Z

a contraction such that

K_{X} + B s i m_{R} 0 / Z

and that the general fibres of

f

are Fano type varieties; adjunction for fibre spaces produces a discriminant divisor

B_{Z}

and a moduli divisor

M_{Z}

on

Z

. it is then conjectured that the singularities of

(Z, B_{Z} + M_{Z})

are bounded in terms of the singularities of

(X, B)

. We prove Shokurov conjecture when

(F, S u p p B_{F})

belongs to a bounded family where

F

is a general fibre of

f

and

K_{F} + B_{F} = (K_{X} + B) |_{F}

.
