Mod $p$ vanishing theorem of Seiberg-Witten invariants for 4-manifolds with $Z

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/130984We give an alternative proof of the mod $p$ vanishing theorem by F.Fang of Seiberg-Witten invariants under a cyclic group action of prime order, and generalize it to the case when $b_1>0$. Although we also use the finite dimensional approximation of the monopole map as well as Fang, our method is rather geometric. Furthermore, non-trivial examples of mod $p$ vanishing are given.20 pagesDifferential Geometry57R57, 57S17 (Primary) 57M60(Secondary)Mod $p$ vanishing theorem of Seiberg-Witten invariants for 4-manifolds with $Z_p$-actionstext
