Abstract

This paper answers a question of Demailly whether a smooth family of nonsingular projective varieties admits the deformation invariance of plurigenera affirmatively, and proves this more generally for a flat family of varieties with only canonical singularities and uncountable ones therein being of general type and also two Chow-type lemmata on the structure of a family of projective complex analytic spaces.

Keywords
