Kronheimer–Mrowka's metric-independence conjecture for equivariant Seiberg–Witten Floer homology

About 25 years old · traced to

Let YY be an oriented rational homology 33-sphere and let s∈Spin⁡c(Y)\mathfrak{s}\in \operatorname{Spin}^c(Y) be a Spin⁡c\operatorname{Spin}^c structure. The equivariant Seiberg–Witten Floer homologies HFtoSW(Y,s)HF_{{\rm to}}^{SW}(Y,\mathfrak{s}), HFfromSW(Y,s)HF_{{\rm from}}^{SW}(Y,\mathfrak{s}), and HFredSW(Y,s)HF_{{\rm red}}^{SW}(Y,\mathfrak{s}) are defined from the corresponding equivariant chain complexes.

Kronheimer–Mrowka's conjecture. These equivariant Seiberg–Witten Floer homologies are well-defined, meaning that they are independent of the particular choices of metrics and perturbations.

The claim would make the equivariant theories genuine invariants of the oriented rational homology 33-sphere together with its Spin⁡c\operatorname{Spin}^c structure, unlike the irreducible Seiberg–Witten Floer homology, which is metric dependent. The supplied text attributes the statement to Kronheimer and Mrowka but gives no evidence of its resolution.
