Uniformization of surface laminations
It is well-known that minimal compact complex surfaces with containing global spherical shells are in the class VII of Kodaira. In fact, there are no other known examples. In this paper we prove that all surfaces with global spherical shells admit a singular holomorphic foliation. The existence of a numerically anticanonical divisor is a necessary condition for the existence of a global holomorphic vector field. Conversely, given the existence of a numerically anticanonical divisor, surfaces...
The notion of the Hausdorffized leaf space of a foliation is introduced. A sufficient condition for warped compact foliations to converge to is given. Moreover, a necessary condition for warped compact Hausdorff foliations to converge to is shown. Finally, some examples are examined.
