Abstract: We construct an invariant of closed ${mspin}^c$ 4-manifolds using families of Seiberg-Witten equations. This invariant is formulated as a cohomology class on a certain abstract simplicial complex consisting of embedded surfaces of a 4-manifold. We also give examples of 4-manifolds which admit positive scalar curvature metrics and for which this invariant does not vanish. This non-vanishing result of our invariant provides a new class of adjunction-type genus constraints on configurations of embedded surfaces in a 4-manifold whose Seiberg-Witten invariant vanishes.
