Vanishing conjecture for reverse-oriented complex-hyperbolic 4-manifolds

About 25 years old · traced to

Let M4=CH2/Γ‾M^{4}=\overline{{\mathbb C}{\mathcal H}_{2}/\Gamma} be a reverse-oriented compact complex-hyperbolic 44-manifold. Reverse-oriented complex-hyperbolic vanishing conjecture. All the Seiberg–Witten invariants of MM vanish for the fixed orientation; in particular, there is no symplectic structure on MM compatible with the non-complex orientation. Complex-hyperbolic 44-manifolds are Kähler, and hence symplectic, in their standard complex orientation; the conjecture concerns the opposite orientation and is presented as open.
