Abstract:

We prove that if $f\colon X\to Z$ is a smooth surjective morphism between projective manifolds and if $-K_X$ is semi-ample, then $-K_Z$ is also semi-ample. This was conjectured by Fujino and Gongyo. We list several counterexamples to show that this fails without the smoothness assumption on $f$.

We prove the above result by proving some results concerning the moduli divisor of the canonical bundle formula associated to a klt-trivial fibration $(X,B)\to Z$.
