Seiberg-Witten theory

introduction

• Vortices and Monopoles and Instantons
• After describing the gauge theory of Electromagnetism, we shall define the 4-dimensional Seiberg-Witten invariant (sweeping much technical structure under the rug) and discuss its topological properties.
• Then we'll backtrack and try to see how this physics beast was born.

4-manifolds

• 1980's work of M. Freedman gave a new insight in the topological classification of simply connected compact 4-manifolds via their intersection forms
• Donaldson succeeded in establishing criteria how the intersection form can prevent a topological 4-manifold from being smoothable

application to 4-manifolds

• invariants of compact smooth 4-manifolds introduced by Witten (1994)
