The Seiberg-Witten Equations and Applications to the Topology of Smooth Four-Manifolds

Omtale

The introduction of the Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds has revolutionized the study of those manifolds. This book serves as an introduction to the Seiberg-Witten invariants. It also includes a review of the classical material on Spin c structures and their associated Dirac operators.
