Vanishing conjecture for compact anti-self-dual Einstein 4-manifolds

Let (M4,g)(M^{4},g) be a compact anti-self-dual Einstein manifold with negative scalar curvature. Anti-self-dual Einstein vanishing conjecture. All the Seiberg–Witten invariants vanish for the fixed orientation of MM. Real- and complex-hyperbolic 44-manifolds provide special cases because they are Einstein, while the relevant orientation makes complex-hyperbolic manifolds anti-self-dual. The conjecture is stated as a generalization of the preceding speculations and is presented as open.
