Abstract

We study several questions involving relative Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics for families of log Calabi-Yau manifolds. Our main result states that if p:(X,B)Yp:(X,B)\to Y is a K\"ahler fiber space such that (Xy,BXy)\displaystyle (X_y, B|_{X_y}) is generically klt, KX/Y+BK_{X/Y}+B is relatively trivial and p(m(KX/Y+B))p_*(m(K_{X/Y}+B)) is Hermitian flat for some suitable integer mm, then pp is locally trivial. Motivated by questions in birational geometry, we investigate the regularity of the relative singular Ricci-flat K\"ahler metric corresponding to a family p:(X,B)Yp:(X,B)\to Y of klt pairs (Xy,By)(X_y,B_y) such that κ(KXy+By)=0\kappa(K_{X_y}+B_y)=0. Finally, we disprove a folkore conjecture by exhibiting a one-dimensional family of elliptic curves whose relative (Ricci-) flat metric is not semipositive.

Comments

The first two sections of this article are expanded versions of parts two and three of our previous work arXiv:1710.01825. The last section and the appendix by Valentino Tosatti are new. v2: improved the exposition of Corollary 1.18 (log abundance). Final version, to appear in J. Eur. Math. Soc
