Abstract
Recently Andrei Teleman considered instanton moduli spaces over negative definite 4-manifolds X with b2(X) ≥ 1. If b2(X) is divisible by four and b1(X) = 1 a gauge-theoretic invariant can be defined; it is a count of flat connections modulo the gauge group. Our first result shows that if such a moduli space is non-empty and the manifold admits a connected sum decomposition X ≅ X1 # X2, then both b2(X1) and b2(X2) are divisible by four; this rules out a previously naturally appearing source of 4-manifolds with non-empty moduli space. We give in some detail a construction of negative definite 4-manifolds which we expect will eventually provide examples of manifolds with non-empty moduli space.
