    Gluing theorem, Seiberg-Witten invariants and Casson-Walker invariants

    Alan Carey, Matilde Marcolli and Bai-Ling Wang (speaker)
    ( Click here for pdf version )

    Gluing theorem for both 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional Seiberg-Witten monopoles will be established. We then discuss its application to the Seiberg-Witten invariants for 4-manifolds and confirm the equivalence of Seiberg-Witten invariants and the Casson-Walker invariants for any rational homology 3-sphere.
