Classification of non-Kähler surfaces and locally conformally Kähler geometry

The Enriques–Kodaira classification treats non-Kähler surfaces as a special case within the Kodaira framework. We prove the classification results for non-Kähler complex surfaces without relying on the machinery of the Enriques–Kodaira classification, and deduce the classification theorem for non-Kähler surfaces from the Buchdahl–Lamari theorem. We also prove that all non-Kähler surfaces which are not of class VII are locally conformally Kähler. Bibliography: 64 titles.
