Mod r Vanishing Theorem of Seiberg-Witten Invariant for 4-Manifolds acted by Cyclic Group Z_r

Abstract: In this paper, a vanishing theorem is stated and proved. If a 4-manifold

M

admits a smooth action by a cyclic group

m a t h b b Z_{r}

, then given an

m a t h b b Z_{r}

-equivariant

S p i n^{c}

-structure

m a t h c a l C

on

M

, the Seiberg-Witten invariant

S W m a t h c a l (C)

is zero modulo

r

under some slight assumptions. Here

r

can be any positive integer. This theorem is a generalization of the mod p vanishing theorem when

m a t h b b Z_{p}

is prime order cyclic proved by F.Fang.
