Review text

This article surveys some aspects of the theory of Seiberg-Witten invariants of four dimensional manifolds, including the case of manifolds with \(b_+ =1\) and the corresponding wall crossing formula. Then the authors describe the non-abelian version of Seiberg-Witten theory with \(PU(2)\) monopoles, with special attention to the case of Kähler surfaces, where the Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces have an interpretation in terms of complex geometry, related to the Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence. In this setting, the authors outline a strategy for the Witten conjecture (equivalence of Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00014].
