On the canonical bundle formula in positive characteristic
Abstract
Let be a fibration from a normal projective variety of dimension onto a normal curve over a perfect field of characteristic . Let be a dlt pair such that the induced pair on a general fibre is log canonical. Assuming the LMMP and the existence of log resolutions in dimension , we prove that, when is -nef, the moduli part is nef up to a birational map . As a corollary, we prove positivity of the moduli part in the -trivial case, i.e. when for some -Cartier -divisor on . In particular, consider a dlt pair of dimension over an algebraically closed field of characteristic such that the induced pair on a general fibre is log canonical, then the canonical bundle formula holds unconditionally.
