Abstract:
This expository talk will explore some old foundational results regarding relations among the Donaldson invariants associated to smooth 4-manifolds. I will focus on the appearance of the Weierstrass sigma function in the blowup formula. If time permits, I will also discuss the Kronheimer-Mrowka structure theorem.
