Yamabe invariant conjecture for compact complex surfaces of Kodaira dimension 0 or 1

From papers

Let MM be the underlying 4-manifold of a compact complex manifold of Kodaira dimension 00 or 11, and let b1(M)b_1(M) denote its first Betti number. Yamabe invariant conjecture for Kodaira dimension 0 or 1. Even if b1(M)b_1(M) is odd, one still has

Y(M)=0.Y(M)=0.

The conjecture extends the known conclusion for even first Betti number to the odd case. The source notes that Kodaira surfaces have non-trivial Seiberg–Witten invariants, while the situation for Kodaira dimension 11 is less clear; no resolution is supplied.
