Abstract

Let f ⁣:XZf\colon X\to Z be a Mori fibre space. McKernan conjectured that the singularities of ZZ are bounded in terms of the singularities of XX. Shokurov generalised this to pairs: let (X,B)(X,B) be a klt pair and f ⁣:XZf\colon X\to Z a contraction such that KX+BR0/ZK_X+B\sim_\R 0/Z and that the general fibres of ff are Fano type varieties; adjunction for fibre spaces produces a discriminant divisor BZB_Z and a moduli divisor MZM_Z on ZZ. it is then conjectured that the singularities of (Z,BZ+MZ)(Z,B_Z+M_Z) are bounded in terms of the singularities of (X,B)(X,B). We prove Shokurov conjecture when (F,\SuppBF)(F,\Supp B_F) belongs to a bounded family where FF is a general fibre of ff and KF+BF=(KX+B)FK_F+B_F=(K_X+B)|_F.
