A six-functor construction of the Bauer-Furuta invariant (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Building on the pioneering works of Verdier and Grothendieck, and later developed by Kashiwara-Schapira, the six-functor formalism for sheaves enables us to understand cohomological duality theorems and transfer maps in terms of certain (stable) ∞-categorical adjunction. Following Gaitsgory-Rozenblyum, these six operations fit into a single (∞,2)-functor out of the 2-category of correspondences. In this talk, we will recall these modern points of view on the six-functor formalism, and as an application, we will see that the stable homotopy theoretic refinement of the Seiberg-Witten invariant defined for a closed spin c four-manifold, introduced by Furuta and Bauer, does correspond to a 2-morphism in that (∞,2)-functoriality.
