Our theorem has several applications in algebraic geometry; to start with, we obtain the natural analytic generalization of some semipositivity results due to E. Viehweg and F. Campana. As a byproduct, we give a simple and direct proof of a recent result due to C. Hacon--J. McKernan, S. Takayama and H. Tsuji concerning the extension of twisted pluricanonical forms. More applications will be offered in the sequel of this article.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2008-01-21T21:26:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14D06" ], "keywords": [ "relative canonical bundles", "bergman kernels", "pseudoeffectivity", "natural analytic generalization", "applications" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......3344B" } } }
