Abstract

Let f : X ! B be a locally non-trivial relatively minimal fibration of genus g ≥ 2 with relative irregularity q f . It was conjectured by Barja and Stoppino that the slope λ f4 g ( - g - q 1 f ). On the one hand, we show the lower bound λ f > g 4 - (g q - f 1 / ) 2 , and also prove the Barja-Stoppino conjecture when q f is small with respect to g. On the other hand, we construct counterexamples violating the conjectured bound when g is odd and q f = (g + 1)/2.
