Abstract

We study Coulomb branch (``u-plane'') integrals for N=2\mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric SU(2),SO(3)SU(2),SO(3) Yang-Mills theory on 4-manifolds XX of b1(X)>0,b2+(X)=1b_1(X)>0, b_2^+(X)=1. Using wall-crossing arguments we derive expressions for the Donaldson invariants for manifolds with b1(X)>0,b2+(X)>0b_1(X)>0, b_2^+(X)>0. Explicit expressions for X=\ICP1×FgX=\IC P^1 \times F_g, where FgF_g is a Riemann surface of genus gg are obtained using Kronecker's double series identity. The result might be useful in future studies of quantum cohomology.
