Shokurov's conjecture on generalized singularities in adjunction for Fano-type fibrations

Let (X,B)(X,B) be a pair and let f:XZf:X\rightarrow Z be a contraction. A pair (X,B)(X,B) is ϵ\epsilon-lc when all its log discrepancies are at least ϵ\epsilon, and XX is of Fano type over ZZ when, equivalently here, KX-K_X is big over ZZ. Adjunction gives a generalized pair (Z,BZ,M)(Z,B_Z,\mathbf M), where BZB_Z is the discriminant divisor and M\mathbf M is the moduli b\mathbf b-divisor, from

KX+BRf(KZ+BZ+MZ).K_X+B\sim_{\mathbb R}f^*(K_Z+B_Z+M_Z).

Shokurov's conjecture. Fix a positive integer rr and a real number 0<ϵ10<\epsilon\leq 1. There exists δ>0\delta>0 depending only on r,ϵr,\epsilon such that, if dimXdimZ=r\dim X-\dim Z=r, (X,B)(X,B) is ϵ\epsilon-lc, KX+BR0/ZK_X+B\sim_{\mathbb R}0/Z, and XX is of Fano type over ZZ, then the generalized pair (Z,BZ,M)(Z,B_Z,\mathbf M) given by adjunction is generalized δ\delta-lc.

This is a uniform singularity bound for the generalized pair on the base in the canonical bundle formula, and it implies McKernan's conjecture. The source states that Birkar proved Shokurov's conjecture recently.
