Negative Yamabe invariant conjecture for compact complex surfaces

Let (M,J)(M,J) be a compact complex surface, where MM is its underlying 4-manifold and Y(M)Y(M) is its Yamabe invariant. Negative Yamabe invariant conjecture. If

Y(M)<0,Y(M)<0,

then MM is of general type. The source explains that the theorem immediately preceding this conjecture allows surfaces of type VII as an additional possibility, but that all known type VII surfaces have Y0Y\geq 0; the conjecture remains open for the potentially unknown type VII surfaces.
