On a Result of Riemenschneider.
Without relying on the classification of compact complex surfaces, it is proved that every such surface with even first Betti number admits a Kähler metric and that a real form of the classical Nakai-Moishezon criterion holds on the surface.
We extend results on generic strange duality for surfaces by showing that the proposed isomorphism holds over an entire Noether-Lefschetz divisor in the moduli space of quasipolarized s. We interpret the statement globally as an isomorphism of sheaves over this divisor, and also describe the global construction over the space of polarized .
