Monopoles over 4–manifolds containing long necks I

DOI: 10.2140/gt.2005.9.1

Abstract

We study moduli spaces of Seiberg–Witten monopoles over spinc Riemannian 4–manifolds with long necks and/or tubular ends. This first part discusses compactness, exponential decay, and transversality. As applications we prove two vanishing theorems for Seiberg–Witten invariants.

Keywords
