Abstract:
The Seiberg-Witten invariant is an invariant for closed 4-manifolds and there are many variants of it. I construct a new variant of the Seiberg-Witten invariant based on two previous works. First, Bauer and Furuta refined the Seiberg-Witten invariant, and made an invariant called the stable cohomotopy invariant, which is an S^1- equivariant stable homotopy map obtained by Furuta's finite dimensional approximation of the Seiberg-Witten map. Second, Kronheimer and Mrowka defined a variant of the Seiberg-Witten invariant for 4-manifolds with contact boundary. I combine these two variants of the Seiberg-Witten invariant; that is, using Furuta's finite dimensional approximation, I refine Kronheimer-Mrowka's invariant for 4-manifolds with contact boundary.
