Abstract

For a compact spinc manifold XX with boundary b1(X)=0b_1(\partial X)=0, we consider moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations in a generalized double Coulomb slice in L12L^2_1 (i.e., W1,2W^{1,2}) Sobolev regularity. We prove they are Hilbert manifolds, prove denseness and "semi-infinite-dimensionality" properties of the restriction to X\partial X, and establish a gluing theorem. To achieve these, we prove a general regularity theorem and a strong unique continuation principle for Dirac operators, and smoothness of a restriction map to configurations of higher regularity on the interior, all of which are of independent interest.
