Abstract
We present a simplified proof for a recent theorem by Junyan Cao and Mihai Păun, confirming a special case of Iitaka’s Cn,m conjecture: if f X → Y is an algebraic fiber space, and if the Albanese mapping of Y is generically finite over its image, then we have the inequality of Kodaira dimensions κ(X) ≥ κ(Y) + κ(F), where F denotes a general fiber of f. We include a detailed survey of the main algebraic and analytic techniques, especially the construction of singular hermitian metrics on pushforwards of adjoint bundles (due to Berndtsson, Păun, and Takayama).
