Universal-formula conjecture for lower-level PU(2) monopole pairings
Universal-formula conjecture for lower-level PU(2) monopole pairings
Let , , , , , and denote the level, bundle and line-bundle data, Seiberg–Witten invariant, and intersection form appearing in the Pidstrigach–Tyurin reduction formula. Universal-formula conjecture. The pairing on the right-hand side of that reduction formula is given by a universal formula depending only on , , , , the intersection form , and invariants of the homotopy type of . Such a formula would provide the universal Seiberg–Witten-theoretic input needed to turn the reduction formula into a relation between Donaldson and Seiberg–Witten invariants; the source presents this as an important step toward proving Witten's conjecture.
