Unfolded Seiberg-Witten Floer spectra, II: Relative invariants and the gluing theorem

Geometric Topology 2023-07-06 v4

Abstract

We use the construction of unfolded Seiberg-Witten Floer spectra of general 3-manifolds defined in our previous paper to extend the notion of relative Bauer-Furuta invariants to general 4-manifolds with boundary. One of the main purposes of this paper is to give a detailed proof of the gluing theorem for the relative invariants.
