Seiberg-Witten equation on a manifold with rank $2$-foliation

Abstract

Let $M$ be a closed oriented $4$-manifold admitting a rank-$2$ oriented foliation with a metric of leafwise positive scalar curvature. If $b^{+}>1$, then we will show that the Seiberg-Witten invariant vanishes for all \spinc structures.
