Abstract
We show that closed orientable smooth four-manifolds with non-trivial volume flux group and fundamental group of subexponential growth type are finitely covered by a manifold homeomorphic to S3×S1, S2×T2 or a nil-manifold. We also show that if a compact complex surface has non-trivial volume flux group then it has zero minimal volume.
