Ricci curvature and monopole classes on 3-manifolds

Differential Geometry 2012-05-18 v4

Abstract

We prove an L^2-estimate involving Ricci curvature and a harmonic 1-form on a closed oriented Riemannian 3-manifold admitting a solution of any rescaled Seiberg-Witten equations. We also give a necessary condition to be a monopole class on some special connected sums.
