Shafarevich conjecture for families of polarized Calabi–Yau varieties

Let CC be a smooth projective curve, let SCS\subset C be a finite subset, and fix an integer q2q\geq 2. Let T\mathbb T denote the parameterizing scheme for non-isotrivial families of curves of genus qq over CC with singular locus SS. Shafarevich conjecture. The following four assertions hold:

  1. The elements of the set of non-isotrivial families of curves of genus qq over CC with singular locus SS are parameterized by points of a scheme T\mathbb T of finite type over C\mathbb C (boundedness).
  2. Any deformation of a non-isotrivial family of curves of genus qq over CC with singular locus SS is trivial; equivalently,
dimT=0.\dim \mathbb T=0.

(rigidity). 3. No non-isotrivial family of curves of genus qq exists if

2g(C)2+#S0,2g(C)-2+\#S\leq 0,

equivalently,

T2g(C)2+#S>0\mathbb T\neq\emptyset\Rightarrow 2g(C)-2+\#S>0

(hyperbolicity). 4. For a non-isotrivial family f:XCf:X\rightarrow C, degfωX/Cm\deg f_*\omega_{X/C}^m is bounded above in terms only of g(C)g(C), #S\#S, qq, and mm (weak boundedness). This conjecture concerns the finiteness, rigidity, hyperbolicity, and quantitative boundedness of families with prescribed base and singular locus; the supplied source does not indicate whether these assertions have been resolved individually.
