Feb 21, 2012 at 0:39 comment added YangMills @Gunnar: you might also know about Inoue surfaces, which are compact complex non-Kahler surfaces of class VII with $b_2=0$, and which have no complex curves. Higher-dimensional versions of Inoue surfaces are the Oeljeklaus-Toma manifolds, which are non-Kahler and also have no closed complex subvarieties other than points, see arXiv.org/abs/1009.1101
Feb 20, 2012 at 21:59 comment added Gunnar Þór Magnússon @diverietti: How sure are we about that "often"? The main examples of non-Kahler manifolds - Hopf manifolds and the Iwasawa manifold - are torus fibrations and thus contain submanifolds. The only examples I know of manifolds that contain no submanifolds are general tori and certain hyperkahler manifolds, and both are Kahler.

Feb 20, 2012 at 17:44 comment added diverietti the point is that often a non-kähler, and hence non-projective, manifold does not have any closed submanifold at all... so the hopf surface is a quite particular case...
Feb 20, 2012 at 17:34 comment added Elizabeth S. Q. Goodman Oh right--so, no $\omega$-positive curves in an exact symplectic manifold, in particular the 2nd-homology obstruction still is useful for closed curves in an open Kähler manifold. Nice.
