A vanishing theorem of Koll'ar-Ohsawa type

For proper surjective holomorphic maps from K"ahler manifolds to analytic spaces, we give a decomposition theorem for the cohomology groups of the canonical bundle twisted by Nakano semi-positive vector bundles by means of the higher direct image sheaves, by using the theory of harmonic integrals developed by Takegoshi. As an application, we prove a vanishing theorem of Koll’ar-Ohsawa type by combining the L^2-method for the dbar-equation.
