The Seiberg–Witten invariants and 4–manifolds with essential tori
A formula is given for the Seiberg–Witten invariants of a 4–manifold that is cut along certain kinds of 3–dimensional tori. The formula involves a Seiberg– Witten invariant for each of the resulting pieces. AMS Classification numbers Primary: 57R57 Secondary: 57M25, 57N13
متن کاملAn introduction to the Seiberg-Witten equations on symplectic manifolds∗
The Seiberg-Witten equations are defined on any smooth 4-manifold. By appropriately counting the solutions to the equations, one obtains smooth 4-manifold invariants. On a symplectic 4-manifold, these invariants have a symplectic interpretation, as a count of pseudoholomorphic curves. This allows us to transfer information between the smooth and symplectic categories in four dimensions. In the ...
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) ...

In this talk, we will introduce a real analogue of Noether-Lefschetz number which captures the existence of holomorphic discs with boundary on special Lagrangians. We will study the holomorphic discs counting on Calabi-Yau 3-folds with K3 fibration. The open Gromov-Witten invariant on such Calabi-Yau 3-folds (when it is well-defined) can be expressed in terms of reduced open Gromov-Witten invar...
متن کاملMore Constraints on Symplectic Forms from Seiberg-witten Invariants
Recently, Seiberg and Witten (see [SW1], [SW2], [W]) introduced a remarkable new equation which gives differential-topological invariants for a compact, oriented 4-manifold with a distinguished integral cohomology class which reduces mod(2) to the 2nd Steiffel-Whitney class of the manifold. A brief mathematical description of these new invariants is given in the recent preprint [KM1]. Using the...
