Let X be a 4-manifold obtained by gluing two symplectic 4-manifolds Xi, i = 1, 2, along embedded surfaces. Using the gradient flow of a functional on 3-dimensional Seiberg-Witten theory along the cylindrical end, we study the Seiberg-Witten equations on X and have a product formula of Seiberg-Witten invariants on X from the ones on Xi, i = 1, 2.

In this paper, Seiberg-Witten-like equations are written down on 3-manifolds. Then, it has been proved that the $L^2$-solutions of these equations are trivial on ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. Finally, a global solution is obtained on the strictly pseudoconvex CR-3 manifolds for a given constant negative scalar curvature.

We prove an $L^2$-estimate of Ricci curvature in terms of harmonic 1-forms on a closed oriented Riemannian 3-manifold admitting a solution of any rescaled Seiberg-Witten equations. We also give a necessary condition to be a monopole class on some special connected sums.
