The Seiberg-Witten invariants and 4-manifolds with essential tori

Clifford Henry Taubes

Published 2001-05-25Version 1

A formula is given for the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a 4-manifold that is cut along certain kinds of 3-dimensional tori. The formula involves a Seiberg-Witten invariant for each of the resulting pieces.
