Virtual-class compatibility under the Kobayashi–Hitchin isomorphism

Let (V,g)(V,g) be a surface with a Kähler metric gg, let mH2(V,Z)m\in H^2(V,\mathbb{Z}), and let β\beta be a real closed 22-form of type (1,1)(1,1). Let τ\tau be a Spinc(4)Spin^c(4)-structure representing the class cm\mathfrak{c}_m, and let Wβτ\mathcal{W}^{\tau}_{\beta} be the moduli space of solutions to the β\beta-twisted Seiberg–Witten equations. Choose the canonical orientation data. Suppose that (2mk[β])[ωg]<0(2m-k-[\beta])\cdot[\omega_g]<0. Kobayashi–Hitchin virtual-class conjecture. The isomorphism

κm+:WβτHilbVm\kappa^+_m:\mathcal{W}^{\tau}_{\beta}\stackrel{\cong}{\longrightarrow}\operatorname{Hilb}^m_V

identifies [Wβτ]vir[\mathcal{W}^{\tau}_{\beta}]_{vir} with the image of the virtual class [[HilbVm]][[\operatorname{Hilb}^m_V]] in H(HilbVm,Z)H_*(\operatorname{Hilb}^m_V,\mathbb{Z}). This is the conceptual algebro-geometric statement intended to explain the proposed equality between Poincaré and Seiberg–Witten invariants; the source does not establish it in general.
