Synopsis
The authors prove an analogue of the Kotschick-Morgan Conjecture in the context of $\mathrm{SO(3)}$ monopoles, obtaining a formula relating the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants of smooth four-manifolds using the $\mathrm{SO(3)}$-monopole cobordism. The main technical difficulty in the $\mathrm{SO(3)}$-monopole program relating the Seiberg-Witten and Donaldson invariants has been to compute intersection pairings on links of strata of reducible $\mathrm{SO(3)}$ monopoles, namely the moduli spaces of Seiberg-Witten monopoles lying in lower-level strata of the Uhlenbeck compactification of the moduli space of $\mathrm{SO(3)}$ monopoles. In this monograph, the authors prove--modulo a gluing theorem which is an extension of their earlier work--that these intersection pairings can be expressed in terms of topological data and Seiberg-Witten invariants of the four-manifold. Their proofs that the $\mathrm{SO(3)}$-monopole cobordism yields both the Superconformal Simple Type Conjecture of Moore, Marino, and Peradze and Witten's Conjecture in full generality for all closed, oriented, smooth four-manifolds with $b_1=0$ and odd $b^+\ge 3$ appear in earlier works.
