MOD p VANISHING THEOREM OF SEIBERG-WITTEN INVARIANTS FOR 4-MANIFOLDS WITH Zp-ACTIONS
نویسنده
چکیده
We give an alternative proof of the mod p vanishing theorem by F. Fang of Seiberg-Witten invariants under a cyclic group action of prime order, and generalize it to the case when b1 ≥ 1. Although we also use the finite dimensional approximation of the monopole map as well as Fang, our method is rather geometric. Furthermore, non-trivial examples of mod p vanishing are given.

Hyperbolic Manifolds, Harmonic Forms, and Seiberg-Witten Invariants
New estimates are derived concerning the behavior of self-dual hamonic 2-forms on a compact Riemannian 4-manifold with non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariants. Applications include a vanishing theorem for certain Seiberg-Witten invariants on compact 4-manifolds of constant negative sectional curvature.
متن کاملA Vanishing Theorem for Seiberg-witten Invariants
It is shown that the quotients of Kähler surfaces under free anti-holomorphic involutions have vanishing Seiberg-Witten invariants. Various vanishing theorems have played important roles in gauge theory. The first among them, due to S. K. Donaldson [2], states that the Donaldson invariants vanish for any smooth closed oriented 4-manifold X which decomposes to a connected sum X1#X2 with b2 (X1) ...
متن کاملRemovable singularities and a vanishing theorem for Seiberg-Witten invariants
This result is the Seiberg-Witten analogue of Donaldson’s original theorem about the vanishing of the instanton invariants [2] for connected sums. An outline of the proof of Theorem 1.1 was given by Donaldson in [1]. The key ingredient of the proof is a removable singularity theorem for the Seiberg-Witten equations on flat Euclidean 4-space. A proof of Theorem 1.1 was also indicated by Witten i...
متن کاملBauer-furuta Invariants under Z2-actions
S. Bauer and M. Furuta defined a stable cohomotopy refinement of the Seiberg-Witten invariants. In this paper, we prove a vanishing theorem of Bauer-Furuta invariants for 4-manifolds with smooth Z2-actions. As an application, we give a constraint on smooth Z2-actions on homotopy K3#K3, and construct a nonsmoothable locally linear Z2-action on K3#K3. We also construct a nonsmoothable locally lin...
متن کاملEuler number of Instanton Moduli space and Seiberg-Witten invariants
We show that a partition function of topological twisted N = 4 Yang-Mills theory is given by Seiberg-Witten invariants on a Riemannian four manifolds under the condition that the sum of Euler number and signature of the four manifolds vanish. The partition function is the sum of Euler number of instanton moduli space when it is possible to apply the vanishing theorem. And we get a relation of E...
