The monopole h-invariants from a topological perspective
arXiv:2310.19375
Abstract
We study the monopole h-invariants of 3-manifolds from a topological perspective based on Lidman and Manolescu's description of monopole Floer homology in terms of Seiberg-Witten-Floer homotopy types. We investigate the possible dependence on the choice of coefficients and give proofs of several properties of the h-invariants which are well known to experts, but hard to track down in the literature.
