Schnell's conjecture for algebraic fiber spaces

About 2 years old · traced to

Let f ⁣:X→Yf\colon X\to Y be an algebraic fiber space between smooth projective varieties, and let FF be its general fiber with κ(F)=0\kappa(F)=0. Suppose that there are an ample divisor HH on YY and a positive integer m0m_0 such that

m0KX−f∗Hm_0K_X-f^*H

is pseudo-effective. Schnell's conjecture. Then

κ(X)=dim⁡Y.\kappa(X)=\dim Y.

This is the algebraic-fiber-space problem to which Schnell reduces the Campana–Peternell conjecture under non-vanishing. The paper proves it under additional hypotheses, including rigidity of the canonical class of the general fiber, but the conjecture itself remains open.
