Abstract: On Kahler 4-manifolds, not necessarily compact or of finite topological type, we obtain relationships between the fundamental group of compact embedded Levi-flat or pseudoconvex submanifold and the fundamental group of the ambient manifold

M^{4}

. When a Levi-flat submanifold

V^{3}

has finite fundamental group then

p i_{1} (M^{4}) = i o t a_{*} p i_{1} (V^{3})

; when a non-separating pseudoconvex submanifold

V^{3}

has finite fundamental group, then

p i_{1} (M^{4}) = i o t a_{*} p i_{1} (V^{3}) t i m e s m a t h b b Z

. As applications, if a Kahler manifold (compact or not) has an embedded holomorphic

m a t h b b P^{1}

of positive self-intersection, it must intersect all other holomorphic

P^{1}

of non-negative self-intersection, the fundamental group of

M^{4}

is trivial, and no ALE or ALF ends exist. If a Levi-flat submanifold and an embedded holomorphic

m a t h b b P^{1}

of positive self-intersection both exist, they intersect. The total number of ALE plus ALF ends is zero or one regardless of what other kinds of ends exist. We provide examples, such as a 2-ended scalar-flat Kahler metric conformal to the Taub-NUT.
