Twisted differentials and Lee classes of locally conformally symplectic complex surfaces

Abstract

We study the set of deRham classes of Lee 1-forms of the locally conformally symplectic (LCS) structures taming the complex structure of a compact complex surface in the Kodaira class VII, and show that the existence of non-trivial upper/lower bounds with respect to the degree function correspond respectively to the existence of certain negative/non-negative PSH functions on the universal cover. We use this to prove that the set of Lee deRham classes of taming LCS is connected, as well as to obtain an explicit negative upper bound for this set on the hyperbolic Kato surfaces. This leads to a complete description of the sets of Lee classes on the known examples of class VII complex surfaces, and to a new obstruction to the existence of bi-hermitian structures on the hyperbolic Kato surfaces of the intermediate type. Our results also reveal a link between bounds of the set of Lee classes and non-trivial logarithmic holomorphic 1-forms with values in a flat holomorphic line bundle.
