Abstract
We determine the Seiberg-Witten-Floer homology groups of the 3-manifold Σ × double-struck S sign1, where Σ is a surface of genus g ≥ 2, together with its ring structure, for a Spinℂ structure with non-vanishing first Chern class. We give applications to computing Seiberg-Witten invariants of 4-manifolds which are connected sums along surfaces and also we reprove the higher type adjunction inequalities obtained by Oszváth and Szabó.
