Iitaka's conjecture on the Kodaira dimension of algebraic fiber spaces

Let (X,Δ)(X,\Delta) be a Klt pair, and let f:XYf:X\to Y be an algebraic fiber space, where XX and YY are smooth projective varieties of dimensions nn and mm, respectively. Let FF be a general fiber of ff. Iitaka's conjecture Cn,mC_{n,m}.

κ(KX+Δ)κ(KF+ΔF)+κ(Y).\kappa(K_X+\Delta)\geq \kappa(K_F+\Delta|_F)+\kappa(Y).

This is presented as one of the remaining open problems in birational geometry. The paper proves some cases of Cn,3C_{n,3}, including situations in which the base is a Calabi--Yau threefold.
