On Fundamental Groups of Class VII Surfaces
Let \(M\) be a non-elliptic compact complex surface of type VII in the Kodaira classification, i.e. a surface whose first betti number is one and which does not admit any non trivial global meromorphic function. These surfaces are among the least understood, in particular regarding their topological structure. The authors prove that if there is a homomorphism \(\phi\) between the fundamental group of such an \(M\) and the fundamental group of a compact Riemannian manifold \(N\) of constant negative curvature, then the image of \(\phi\) is either trivial or infinite cyclic. The above result still holds under slightly more technical but less strict assumptions on the curvature (or Hermitian curvature) of \(N.\) From the above theorem, two results on compact manifolds of constant negative curvature are obtained: if the dimension is at least three, then the fundamental group can never be isomorphic to the fundamental group of any compact complex surface; if the dimension is at least four, then the manifold has no complex structure. The last result mentioned follows also from previous work of Walls and Kotschick.
