Abstract

This is the first of two papers studying both the geometric structure of Fano fibrations and the application to Kähler-Ricci flows developing a singularity in finite time. Given a Fano fibration which is generated by Kawamata's theorem from a compact Kähler manifold endowed with an ample, rational line bundle and non-nef canonical line bundle , we construct a -form on the regular part of the base analytic variety which is related to the Weil-Petersson metric. It is also proven that the singular Kähler metric constructed by Zhang, Zhang, on the base analytic variety satisfies a twisted Kähler-Einstein equation involving this -form and, for a submersion, that the Chern classes of and the base manifold decompose in terms of this -form.
