On Hermitian geometry of complex surfaces

From MaRDI portal





The authors give a very nice exposition of locally conformal Kähler metrics on complex surfaces. A Hermitian surface has a natural non-degenerate \((1,1)\)-form \(\omega\). One can conclude that there is a \(1\)-form \(\theta\) such that \(d\omega=\omega\wedge\theta\). This form is called the Lee form. The manifold is locally conformal Kähler exactly when this form is closed. After some introduction the authors carefully go through the Enriques-Kodaira classification of surfaces quoting results of others showing that the existence of locally conformal Kähler metrics is completely understood except for surfaces of class \(VII_0\). In the last section of this paper, the authors describe their results. The final one stating that every minimal hyperbolic of half Inoue surface with \(b_2=m\) admits an \(m\)-dimensional family of anti-self-dual Hermitian metrics. Together with a result for some Enoki surfaces. The proof of this result will appear elsewhere, but the outline indicates that the authors use twistor methods. This is a nice introduction to an area with some interesting open problems. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1062.53001].
