Seiberg–Witten–Furuta–Ohta invariant conjecture for homology S1×S3S^1\times S^3 four-manifolds

Let XX be a smooth 44-manifold with the Z[Z]\mathbb Z[\mathbb Z] homology of S1×S3S^1\times S^3. Denote by λSW(X)\lambda_{\,\operatorname{SW}\,}(X) the Seiberg–Witten invariant and by λFO(X)\lambda_{\,\operatorname{FO}\,}(X) the Furuta–Ohta invariant. Seiberg–Witten–Furuta–Ohta conjecture. One has

λSW(X)=λFO(X).\lambda_{\,\operatorname{SW}\,}(X)=-\lambda_{\,\operatorname{FO}\,}(X).

The conjecture identifies the periodic-end Seiberg–Witten invariant with the Furuta–Ohta invariant up to sign. It is verified in the product case and in the examples discussed in the paper, while the general statement remains open.
