On twistor spaces of the class \({\mathcal C}\) (Q909077): Difference between revisions

A (very) special case of the main result of this paper is the simple connectedness of any Moishezon manifold Z containing a smooth rational curve C with ample normal bundle \(N_{C| Z}\). When Z is unirational, this is due to J. P. Serre. As an application, only \(S^ 4\) and connected sums of \({\mathbb{C}}{\mathbb{P}}_ 2's\) can have Moishezon twistor spaces. Recent examples of C. Lebruin and then H. Kurke show that this is sharp.
