Caporaso–Harris–Mazur correlation conjecture for varieties of general type

Let f:XBf:X \longrightarrow B be a proper morphism of integral varieties whose general fiber is an integral variety of general type. For a sufficiently large integer nn, consider the nn-fold fiber product XBnX^n_B. Correlation Conjecture. Then XBnX^n_B admits a dominant rational map hh to a variety WW of general type such that the restriction of hh to a general fiber of fnf^n is generically finite.

The paper proves this statement when the general fiber is an integral surface of general type; the conjecture is the broader form posed by Caporaso, Harris, and Mazur and is connected to geometric and number-theoretic consequences of Lang-type conjectures.
