Abstract

We investigate the Seiberg-Witten theory in the presence of real structures. Certain conditions are obtained so that integer-valued real Seiberg-Witten invariants can be defined. In general, we study properties of the real Seiberg-Witten projection map from the point of view of Fredholm map degrees.
