Inoue surface

In complex geometry, a part of mathematics, the term Inoue surface denotes several complex surfaces of Kodaira class VII. They are named after Masahisa Inoue, who gave the first non-trivial examples of Kodaira class VII surfaces in 1974.^[1]

The Inoue surfaces are not Kähler manifolds.

Inoue surfaces with b₂ = 0

Inoue introduced three families of surfaces, S⁰, S⁺ and S⁻, which are compact quotients of ${\mathbb {C}}\times H$ (a product of a complex plane by a half-plane). These Inoue surfaces are solvmanifolds. They are obtained as quotients of ${\mathbb {C}}\times H$ by a solvable discrete group which acts holomorphically on ${\mathbb {C}}\times H$ .

The solvmanifold surfaces constructed by Inoue all have second Betti number $b_{2}=0$ . These surfaces are of Kodaira class VII, which means that they have $b_{1}=1$ and Kodaira dimension $-\infty$ . It was proven by Bogomolov,^[2] Li-Yau ^[3] and Teleman^[4] that any surface of class VII with b₂ = 0 is a Hopf surface or an Inoue-type solvmanifold.

These surfaces have no meromorphic functions and no curves.

K. Hasegawa ^[5] gives a list of all complex 2-dimensional solvmanifolds; these are complex torus, hyperelliptic surface, Kodaira surface and Inoue surfaces S⁰, S⁺ and S⁻.

The Inoue surfaces are constructed explicitly as follows.^[5]

Inoue surfaces of type S⁰

Let φ be an integer 3 × 3 matrix, with two complex eigenvalues $\alpha ,{\bar {\alpha }}$ and a real eigenvalue c, with $|\alpha |^{2}c=1$ . Then φ is invertible over integers, and defines an action of the group ${\mathbb {Z}}$ of integers on ${\mathbb {Z}}^{3}$ . Let $\Gamma :={\mathbb {Z}}^{3}\ltimes {\mathbb {Z}}$ . This group is a lattice in solvable Lie group

{\mathbb {R}}^{3}\ltimes {\mathbb {R}}=({\mathbb {C}}\times {\mathbb {R}})\ltimes {\mathbb {R}}

acting on ${\mathbb {C}}\times {\mathbb {R}}$ , with the $({\mathbb {C}}\times {\mathbb {R}})$ -part acting by translations and the $\ltimes {\mathbb {R}}$ -part as $(z,r)\mapsto (\alpha ^{t}z,c^{t}r)$ .

We extend this action to ${\mathbb {C}}\times H={\mathbb {C}}\times {\mathbb {R}}\times {\mathbb {R}}^{>0}$ by setting $v\mapsto e^{\log ct}v$ , where t is the parameter of the $\ltimes {\mathbb {R}}$ -part of ${\mathbb {R}}^{3}\ltimes {\mathbb {R}}$ , and acting trivially with the ${\mathbb {R}}^{3}$ factor on ${\Bbb R}^{>0}$ . This action is clearly holomorphic, and the quotient ${\mathbb {C}}\times H/\Gamma$ is called Inoue surface of type S⁰.

The Inoue surface of type S⁰ is determined by the choice of an integer matrix φ, constrained as above. There is a countable number of such surfaces.

Inoue surfaces of type S⁺

Let n be a positive integer, and $\Lambda_n$ be the group of upper triangular matrices

{\begin{bmatrix}1&x&{\frac {z}{n}}\\0&1&y\\0&0&1\end{bmatrix}},

where x, y, z are integers. Consider an automorphism of $\Lambda_n$ , denoted as φ. The quotient of $\Lambda_n$ by its center C is ${\mathbb {Z}}^{2}$ . We assume that φ acts on $\Lambda _{n}/C={\mathbb {Z}}^{2}$ as a matrix with two positive real eigenvalues a, b, and ab = 1.

Consider the solvable group $\Gamma _{n}:=\Lambda _{n}\ltimes {\mathbb {Z}}$ , with ${\mathbb {Z}}$ acting on $\Lambda_n$ as φ. Identifying the group of upper triangular matrices with ${\mathbb {R}}^{3}$ , we obtain an action of $\Gamma_n$ on ${\mathbb {R}}^{3}={\mathbb {C}}\times {\mathbb {R}}$ . Define an action of $\Gamma_n$ on ${\mathbb {C}}\times H={\mathbb {C}}\times {\mathbb {R}}\times {\mathbb {R}}^{>0}$ with $\Lambda_n$ acting trivially on the ${\Bbb R}^{>0}$ -part and the ${\mathbb {Z}}$ acting as $v\mapsto e^{t\log b}v$ . The same argument as for Inoue surfaces of type $S^{0}$ shows that this action is holomorphic. The quotient ${\mathbb {C}}\times H/\Gamma _{n}$ is called Inoue surface of type $S^+$ .

Inoue surfaces of type S⁻

Inoue surfaces of type $S^{-}$ are defined in the same was as for S⁺, but two eigenvalues a, b of φ acting on ${\mathbb {Z}}^{2}$ have opposite sign and satisfy ab = −1. Since a square of such an endomorphism defines an Inoue surface of type S⁺, an Inoue surface of type S⁻ has an unramified double cover of type S⁺.

Parabolic and hyperbolic Inoue surfaces

Parabolic and hyperbolic Inoue surfaces are Kodaira class VII surfaces defined by Iku Nakamura in 1984.^[6] They are not solvmanifolds. These surfaces have positive second Betti number. They have spherical shells, and can be deformed into a blown-up Hopf surface.

Parabolic Inoue surfaces contain a cycle of rational curves with 0 self- intersection and an elliptic curve. They are a particular case of Enoki surfaces which have a cycle of rational curves with zero self- intersection but without elliptic curve.

Half-Inoue surfaces contain a cycle C of rational curves and are a quotient of a hyperbolic Inoue surface with two cycles of rational curves.

Hyperbolic Inoue surfaces are class VII₀ surfaces with two cycles of rational curves.^[7]
