The existence problem of analytic structures on topological vector bundles is still very intriguing even on the simplest base spaces. There are essentially two methods of solving this problem, both with clear and distinct advantages: either to solve a system of nonlinear integrability conditions or to classify topologically the vector bundles of a prescribed rank and then to fill the equivalence classes with analytic representatives. In complex dimension greater than two both methods encounter serious difficulties. The thesis under review treats similar existence problems for vector bundles defined on complex nonalgebraic surfaces. On algebraic surface a classical result of Schwarzenberger characterizes completely the analytic bundles by the natural restriction that the corresponding Chern classes must be algebraic, too. Analogously, topological constraints expressed as inequalities among the Chern classes are found for a complex analytic bundle on a non-algebraic surface. Similar conditions characterize the strongly irreducible analytic structures in a fixed topological type, this time on a K3 or a complex torus. Finally, the work exhausts case by case the existence problem of simple reducible bundles on minimal surfaces of algebraic dimension zero. The paper is well and carefully written. Its introduction may serve as a quick introduction to the field of analytic vector bundles on complex surfaces.
