On the algebraic dimension of twistor spaces over the connected sum of four complex projective planes

We study the algebraic dimension of twistor spaces of positive type over $4\bbfP^2$. We show that such a twistor space is Moishezon if and only if its anticanonical class is not nef. More precisely, we show the equivalence of being Moishezon with the existence of a smooth rational curve having negative intersection number with the anticanonical class. Furthermore, we give precise information on the dimension and base locus of the fundamental linear system $|{-1/2}K|$. This implies, for example, $\dim|{-1/2}K|\leq a(Z)$. We characterize those twistor spaces over $4\bbfP^2$, which contain a pencil of divisors of degree one by the property $\dim|{-1/2}K| = 3$.
