Seiberg-Witten theory and the geometric structure \(\mathbb{R}\times H^2\) (Q1026992)

The authors study the moduli space of solutions to the monopole equations over an oriented closed 3-manifold \(M\) with geometric structure \({\mathbb R} \times H^2\). They prove that the moduli space consists of a single point cut out transversally so that the Seiberg--Witten invariant is \(\pm 1\) and that \(\alpha = c_1(K_M^{\pm 1})\) is a monopole class.
