Curves on the Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds (Q2258223)

The article studies Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds, which are a generalization of the Inoue surfaces~\(S_m\). In the first part, the author reviews the construction of the Oeljeklaus-Toma manifold associated to a number field~\(K\) admitting \(s>0\) real embeddings and \(2t>0\) complex embeddings. In the second part, it is proved that an Oeljeklaus-Toma manifold \(M\) does not contain any compact curve. This is achieved by considering the zero foliation associated to a certain semipositive \((1,1)\)-form on~\(M\). The same method of proof has already been used in [\textit{L. Ornea} and \textit{M. Verbitsky}, Math. Res. Lett. 18, No. 4, 747--754 (2011; Zbl 1272.53060)] to show that an Oeljeklaus-Toma manifold with \(t=1\) (i.e., associated to a number field with exactly two complex embeddings) does not contain any complex submanifold.
