We introduce a framework to prove integral rigidity results for the Seiberg–Witten invariants of a closed $4$-manifold X containing a nonseparating hypersurface Y satisfying suitable (chain-level) Floer theoretic conditions. As a concrete application, we show that if X has the homology of a four-torus, and it contains a nonseparating three-torus, then the sum of all Seiberg–Witten invariants of X is determined in purely cohomological terms.Our results can be interpreted as $(3+1)$-dimensional versions of Donaldson’s TQFT approach to the formula of Meng–Taubes, and build upon a subtle interplay between irreducible solutions to the Seiberg–Witten equations on X and reducible ones on Y and its complement. Along the way, we provide a concrete description of the associated graded map (for a suitable filtration) of the map on $\overline {\mathit {HM}}_*$ induced by a negative-definite cobordism between three-manifolds, which might be of independent interest.
