Abstract

For SU(2)SU(2) (or SO(3)SO(3)) Donaldson theory on a 4-manifold XX, we construct a simple geometric representative for μ\mu of a point. Let pp be a generic point in XX. Then the set {[A]FA(p)\{ [A] | F_A^-(p) is reducible }\}, with coefficient -1/4 and appropriate orientation, is our desired geometric representative.
