Abstract

We find new examples of complex surfaces with countably many non-isomorphic algebraic structures. Here is one such example: take an elliptic curve EE in P2\mathbb P^2 and blow up nine general points on EE. Then the complement MM of the strict transform of EE in the blow-up has countably many algebraic structures. Moreover, each algebraic structure comes from an embedding of MM into a blow-up of P2\mathbb P^2 in nine points lying on an elliptic curve F≄EF\not\simeq E. We classify algebraic structures on MM using a Hopf transform: a way of constructing a new surface by cutting out an elliptic curve and pasting a different one. Next, we introduce the notion of an analytic K-theory of varieties. Manipulations with the example above lead us to prove that classes of all elliptic curves in this K-theory coincide. To put in another way, all motivic measures on complex algebraic varieties that take equal values on biholomorphic varieties do not distinguish elliptic curves.
