Kodaira-type classification of singular fibers of some minimal abelian fibrations

Abstract

Let $X\to S$ be a minimal abelian fibration of relative dimension $n$ over a curve. We classify all possible singular fibers $X_s$ having $(n-1)$-dimensional ``abelian variety parts''. This generalizes Kodaira's work on elliptic fibrations, and Matsushita and Hwang--Oguiso's work on Lagrangian fibrations into a single framework. The classification is divided into three parts: semistable, unstable, and multiple. Multiple fibers are again divided into three types: semistable-like, mixed, and unstable-like.
