Seiberg–Witten invariants and surface singularities: splicings and cyclic covers
We verify the conjecture formulated in [36] for suspension singularities of type g(x, y, z) = f(x, y) + z, where f is an irreducible plane curve singularity. More precisely, we prove that the modified Seiberg–Witten invariant of the link M of g, associated with the canonical spin structure, equals −σ(F )/8, where σ(F ) is the signature of the Milnor fiber of g. In order to do this, we prove gen...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملRefined Seiberg-witten Invariants
In the past two decades, gauge theoretic methods became indispensable when considering manifolds in dimension four. Initially, research centred around the moduli spaces of Yang-Mills instantons. Simon Donaldson had introduced the instanton equations into the field. Using cohomological data of the corresponding moduli spaces, he defined invariants which could effectively distinguish differentiab...
متن کاملSeiberg Witten Invariants and Uniformizations
We study the Seiberg Witten equations and its applications in uniformization problems. First, we show that KK ahler surfaces covered by product of disks can be characterized using negative Seiberg Witten invariant. Second, we shall use Seiberg Witten equations to construct projectively at U(2; 1) connections on Einstein manifolds and uniformize those with optimal Chern numbers. Third, we study ...
متن کاملLectures on Seiberg-Witten Invariants
In October 1994 Seiberg-Witten invariants entered in 4-manifold theory with a big bang. Not only did these invariants tidy up the Gauge Theory, but they also gave some exciting new results on topology of smooth 4-manifolds. These notes grew out of the lectures I have given in learning seminars at MPI in Bonn, and METU in Ankara on this subject. The main goal of these notes is not to survey the ...
