“Identifying instantons with holomorphic curves”
A variant of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture states that the SO(3)-Donaldson invariants are iso- morphic to certain invariants coming out of symplectic geometry. I will discuss this conjecture in a few special cases that suggest an outline for proving the more general statement.
