Abstract: This is a report on joint work with Behrouz Taji. Given a flat projective morphism [f:X\to B] of complex varieties, assuming that [B] is smooth, we construct a system of reflexive Hodge sheaves on [B] . If in addition [X] is also smooth then this system gives an extension of the Hodge bundle underlying the VHS of the smooth locus of [f] . This in turn provides a criterion that all VHSs of geometric origin must satisfy. As an independent application we prove a singular version of Viehweg's conjecture about base spaces of families of maximal variation.
