The Global Spherical Shell conjecture for minimal class VII surfaces with positive second Betti number
Theorem 1.1: every minimal class VII surface with contains a global spherical shell. Corollaries: by Kato, each such surface deforms to blown-up primary Hopf surfaces, has and is diffeomorphic to ; and aspherical compact complex surfaces satisfy . The proof builds divisors on the infinite cyclic cover and shows all their components are compact rational curves, then applies Dloussky-Oeljeklaus-Toma. It does not give a complete biholomorphic classification of the resulting Kato surfaces beyond what Kato's theory provides.
