This is analog to the open Gromov-Witten theory for counting holomorphic curves with Lagrangian boundary condition in Calabi-Yau manifolds. We explain its relationship with the Seiberg-Witten invariants for coassociative submanifolds.18 pagesDifferential GeometryMathematical PhysicsSymplectic GeometryIntersection theory of coassociative submanifolds in G_(2)-manifolds and Seiberg-Witten invariantstext
