Gluing conjecture for relative Seiberg–Witten invariants
Let be a cobordism between three-manifolds and , and let be a cobordism between and . Denote by , , and the morphisms associated with these cobordisms in the Seiberg–Witten–Floer stable homotopy category. Gluing conjecture. The morphism associated with the composite cobordism satisfies
This is the expected functoriality or gluing law for the relative Seiberg–Witten invariant under composition of cobordisms. The supplied text gives no evidence that the statement has been proved or disproved.
