Abstract

Given a fibration f:XYf: X \to Y with normal general fibre XyX_y, over a field of any characteristic, we establish the Iitaka-type inequality κ(X,KX)κ(Xy,KXy)+κ(Y,KY)\kappa(X,-K_X) \leq \kappa(X_y,-K_{X_y})+\kappa(Y,-K_Y) whenever the Q\mathbb{Q}-linear series KXQ|-K_X|_{\mathbb{Q}} has good singularities on XyX_y.
