Abstract

Casson-type invariants emerging from Donaldson theory over certain negative-definite four-manifolds were recently suggested by Teleman. These are defined by an algebraic count of points in a zero-dimensional moduli space of flat instantons. Motivated by the cobordism programme of proving Witten's conjecture, we use a moduli space of PU(2) Seiberg-Witten monopoles to exhibit an oriented one-dimensional cobordism of the instanton moduli space to the empty space. The Casson-type invariant must therefore vanish.
