It seems to me that you could be interested in the following (I haven't checked the paper in detail, but I think theorems of this "style" could be helpful for you): - Dieter Kotschick, [Orientations and geometrisations of compact complex surfaces][1] (Bull. London Math. Soc. 29 (1997), no. 2, 145–149. [Zbl 0896.32014][2]) > **Theorem** Let $X$ be a compact complex surface admitting a complex structure for $\bar{X}$. Then $X$ (and $\bar{X}$) satisfies one of the following: > 1. $X$ is geometrically ruled, or > 2. the Chern numbers $c_1^2$ and $c_2$ of $X$ vanish, or > 3. $X$ is uniformised by the polydisk. > >In particular, the signature of $X$ vanishes. Other material that could be helpful is: - Dieter Kotschick, [Orientation-reversing homeomorphisms in surface geography][3] (Math. Ann. 292 (1992), no. 2, 375–381.
