The Seiberg–Witten invariants of negative definite plumbed 3-manifolds

András Némethi (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Assume that Γ is a connected negative definite plumbing graph, and that the associated plumbed 3-manifold M is a rational homology sphere. We provide two new combinatorial formulae for the Seiberg–Witten invariant of M . The first one is the constant term of a ‘multivariable Hilbert polynomial’, it reflects in a conceptual way the structure of the graph Γ , and emphasizes the subtle parallelism between these topological invariants and the analytic invariants of normal surface singularities. The second...
