Abstract: We extend the Siu-Beauville theorem to a certain class of compact Kähler-Weyl manifolds, proving that they fiber holomorphically over hyperbolic Riemannian surfaces whenever they satisfy the necessary topological hypotheses. As applications we obtain restrictions on the fundamental groups of such Kähler-Weyl manifolds, and we show that in certain cases they are in fact Kähler.
