Log canonical pairs over varieties with maximal Albanese dimension

Let $(X,B)$ be a log canonical pair over a normal variety $Z$ with maximal Albanese dimension. If $K_X+B$ is relatively abundant over $Z$ (for example, $K_X+B$ is relatively big over $Z$), then we prove that $K_X+B$ is abundant. In particular, the subadditvity of Kodaira dimensions $\kappa(K_X+B) \geq \kappa(K_F+B_F)+ \kappa(Z)$holds,where$F$isageneralfiber,$K_F+B_F= (K_X+B)|_F$,and$\kappa(Z)$meanstheKodairadimensionofasmoothmodelof$Z$. We discuss several variants of this result in Section 4. We also give a remark on the log Iitaka conjecture for log canonical pairs in Section 5.
