Xiao's conjecture for general fibred surfaces

Abstract

We prove that the genus g, the relative irregularity qf and the Clifford index cf of a non-isotrivial fibration f satisfy the inequality qf ≤ g - cf. This gives in particular a proof of Xiao's conjecture for fibrations whose general fibres have maximal Clifford index.
