Abstract: In this paper we set up the family Seiberg-Witten theory. It can be applied to the counting of nodal pseudo-holomorphic curves in a symplectic 4-manifold (especially a Kahler surface). A new feature in this theory is that the chamber structure plays a more prominent role. We derive some wall crossing formulas measuring how the family Seiberg-Witten invariants change from one chamber to another.

Review text

The authors study the parametrized Seiberg-Witten theory on fiber bundles with symplectic 4-manifolds as fibers and closed oriented manifolds as bases. For the ordinary Seiberg-Witten invariants, if \(b^{+}=1\) they depend on chambers. For the family Seiberg-Witten invariants, they depend on chambers as long as \(b^{+}-1 \) is \(\leq\) the dimension of the base space. They show that the family Seiberg-Witten invariants are diffeomorphic invariants and derive the wall crossing formula in the case \(b^{+}-1=\) the dimension of the base and the Fulton-MacPherson family.
