Using Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum and Pin(2)-equivariant KO-theory, we prove new Furuta-type inequalities on the intersection forms of spin cobordisms between homology $3$-spheres. As an application, we give explicit constrains on the intersection forms of spin $4$-manifolds bounded by Brieskorn spheres $pmSigma(2,3,6kpm1)$. Along the way, we also give an alternative proof of Furuta-Kametannis improvement of 10/8-theorem for closed spin-4 manifolds.
In studying the 11/8-Conjecture on the Geography Problem in 4-dimensional topology, Furuta proposed a question on the existence of Pin(2)-equivariant stable maps between certain representation spheres. In this paper, we present a complete solution to
For a 3-manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)=1$ fibered over $S^1$ and the fiberwise gradient $xi$ of a fiberwise Morse function on $M$, we introduce the notion of amidakuji-like path (AL-path) on $M$. An AL-path is a piecewise smooth path on $M$ consisting of
Let $W$ be a compact smooth $4$-manifold that deformation retract to a PL embedded closed surface. One can arrange the embedding to have at most one non-locally-flat point, and near the point the topology of the embedding is encoded in the singularit
We provide three 3-dimensional characterizations of the Z-slice genus of a knot, the minimum genus of a locally-flat surface in 4-space cobounding the knot whose complement has cyclic fundamental group: in terms of balanced algebraic unknotting, in t
Given a closed four-manifold $X$ with an indefinite intersection form, we consider smoothly embedded surfaces in $X setminus $int$(B^4)$, with boundary a knot $K subset S^3$. We give several methods to bound the genus of such surfaces in a fixed homo
