Bounded automorphism groups of compact complex surfaces

Abstract

Abstract We classify compact complex surfaces whose groups of bimeromorphic selfmaps have bounded finite subgroups. We also prove that the stabilizer of a point in the automorphism group of a compact complex surface of zero Kodaira dimension, as well as the stabilizer of a point in the automorphism group of an arbitrary compact Kähler manifold of nonnegative Kodaira dimension, always has bounded finite subgroups.
