We prove that the deRham cohomology classes of Lee forms of locally conformally symplectic structures taming the complex structure of a compact complex surface $S$ with first Betti number equal to $1$ is either a non-empty open subset of…

We study the set of deRham classes of Lee $1$-forms of the locally conformally symplectic (LCS) structures taming the complex structure of a compact complex surface in the Kodaira class VII, and show that the existence of non-trivial…

We give an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Ma. Kato, namely that every compact complex surface $S$ in Kodaira's class $VII_0$ with $b_2(S) > 0$ and $b_2(S)$ rational curves, admits a global spherical shell.

We consider minimal compact complex surfaces S with Betti numbers b_1=1 and n=b_2>0. A theorem of Donaldson gives n exceptional line bundles. We prove that if in a deformation, these line bundles have sections, S is a degeneration of…

The classification of class VII surfaces is a very difficult classical problem in complex geometry. It is considered by experts to be the most important gap in the Enriques-Kodaira classification table for complex surfaces. The standard…

We study the problem of existence of F-structures on compact complex surfaces, giving a complete classification modulo the gap in the classification of surfaces of class VII. We then use these results to study the minimal entropy problem…

A complex algebraic surface $S$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-homology plane if $H_{i}(S,\mathbb{Q})=0$ for $i>0$. The Negativity Conjecture of Palka asserts that $\kappa(K_{X}+\tfrac{1}{2}D)=-\infty$, where $(X,D)$ is a log smooth completion of $S$.…

In this paper we describe logarithmic moduli spaces of pairs (S,D) consisting of minimal surfaces S of class VII with positive second Betti number b_2 together with reduced divisors D of b_2 rational curves. The special case of Enoki…

We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a compact lamination by $\epsilon$-holomorphic surfaces in the complex projective plane, minimal, and that carries hyperbolic holonomy. We call $\epsilon$-holomorphic a real 2-dimensional…

Let $S$ be a compact complex surface in class VII$_0^+$ containing a cycle of rational curves $C=\sum D_j$. Let $D=C+A$ be the maximal connected divisor containing $C$. If there is another connected component of curves $C'$ then $C'$ is a…

We prove that every compact complex surface with odd first Betti number admits a locally conformally symplectic $2$-form which tames the underlying almost complex structure.

A compact complex surface with positive definite intersection lattice is either the projective plane or a false projective plane. If the intersection lattice is negative definite, the surface is either a non-minimal secondary Kodaira…

We consider normal compact surfaces $Y$ obtained from a minimal class VII surface $X$ by contraction of a cycle $C$ of $r$ rational curves with $C^2<0$. Our main result states that, if the obtained cusp is smoothable, then $Y$ is globally…

A surface $\Sigma \subset S^5 \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ is called \emph{special Legendrian} if the cone $0 \times \Sigma \subset \mathbb{C}^3$ is special Lagrangian. The purpose of this paper is to propose a general method toward constructing…

In this article we give a strategy to decide whether the logarithm of a given Salem number is realized as entropy of an automorphism of a supersingular K3 surface in positive characteristic. As test case it is proved that $\log \lambda_d$,…

For a rank 1 local system on the complement of a reduced divisor on a complex manifold $X$, its cohomology is calculated by the twisted meromorphic de Rham complex. Assuming the divisor is everywhere positively weighted homogeneous, we…

We calculate the stable pair theory of a projective surface $S$. For fixed curve class $\beta\in H^2(S)$ the results are entirely topological, depending on $\beta^2$, $\beta.c_1(S)$, $c_1(S)^2$, $c_2(S)$, $b_1(S)$ \emph{and} invariants of…

In this paper we show the existence of a closed, embedded $\lambda$-hypersurfaces $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^{2n}$. The hypersurface is diffeomorhic to $\mathbb{S}^{n-1} \times \mathbb{S}^{n-1} \times \mathbb{S}^1$ and exhibits $SO(n)…

We investigate bi-Hermitian metrics on compact complex surfaces with odd first Betti number producing new examples with connected anti-canonical divisor using the general construction of \cite{abd15}. The result is a complete classification…

The aim of this article is to prove Bloch's conjecture (asserting that the group of rational equivalence classes of zero cycles of degree zero is trivial) for Inoue surfaces with p_g=0 and K^2 = 7. These surfaces can also be described as…
