Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality for four-manifolds with a Seiberg–Witten basic class
Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality for four-manifolds with a Seiberg–Witten basic class
Let be a closed, connected, oriented, smooth four-dimensional manifold with and odd . A Seiberg–Witten basic class is a cohomology class associated with a structure having nonzero Seiberg–Witten invariant. Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau conjecture. If has a Seiberg–Witten basic class, then
The conjecture is false when and , so the stated hypotheses cannot be weakened in that direction.
