Embedded contact homology and Seiberg-Witten Floer cohomology I

Abstract

This is the first of five papers that construct an isomorphism between the embedded contact homology and Seiberg-Witten Floer cohomology of a compact 3-manifold with a given contact 1-form. This paper describes what is involved in the construction.

Arguments in the Appendix are simplified
