A new gauge slice for the relative Bauer-Furuta invariants
  In this paper, we study Manolescu's construction of the relative Bauer-Furuta invariants arising from the Seiberg-Witten equations on 4-manifolds with boundary. The main goal is to introduce a new gauge fixing condition in order to apply the finite dimensional approximation technique. We also hope to provide a framework to extend Manolescu's construction to general 4-manifolds.
