Abstract

We establish a gluing theorem for monopoles over 4--manifolds containing long necks. The theorem is stated in terms of an ungluing map defined explicitly in terms of data that appear naturally in applications. Orientations of moduli spaces are handled using Benevieri--Furi's concept of orientations of Fredholm operators of index 0.
