His <Monopoles and Four-Manifolds by Edward Witten> used ideas from supersymmetric gauge theory to introduce a new description of smooth four-manifold invariants. The <Seiberg–Witten equations> replace a nonabelian instanton-counting problem with equations involving an Abelian gauge field and a spinor. The contribution demonstrates how a physical dual description can reveal a more tractable mathematical structure.<Monopoles and Four-Manifolds by Edward Witten>[Abstract and section 2]{ref}
