Abstract

A previous conjecture is verified for any normal surface singularity which admits a good ${\mathbb C}^*$-action. This result connects the Seiberg–Witten invariant of the link (associated with a certain ‘canonical’ spin$^c$ structure) with the geometric genus of the singularity, provided that the link is a rational homology sphere.

As an application, a topological interpretation is found of the generalized Batyrev stringy invariant (in the sense of Veys) associated with such a singularity.

The result is partly based on the computation of the Reidemeister–Turaev sign-refined torsion and the Seiberg–Witten invariant (associated with any spin$^c$ structure) of a Seifert 3-manifold with negative orbifold Euler number and genus zero.
