Abstract

Floer constructed instanton homology for integral homology three-spheres. In this paper, we extend instanton Floer homology to lens spaces L(p, q). Moreover we show a gluing formula for a variant of Donaldson invariant along lens spaces. As an application, we prove that X= ℂℙ2#ℂℙ2 does not admit a decomposition X=X1∪X2. Here X1 and X2 are oriented, simply connected, non-spin four-manifolds with b+ = 1 and with boundary L(p, 2), and p is a prime number of the form 16N + 1.
