We define Seiberg–Witten equations on closed manifolds endowed with a Riemannian foliation of codimension 4. When the foliation is taut, we show compactness of the moduli space under some hypothesis satisfied for instance by closed d="mmlsi1" class="mathmlsrc">mulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0393044016301279&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0393044016301279&_rdoc=1&_issn=03930440&md5=585632b2e26a5666c4a8a9927d6e38a0" title="Click to view the MathML source">KmathContainer hidden">mathCode"><math altimg="si1.gif" overflow="scroll"><mi>Kmi>math>-contact manifolds. Furthermore, we prove some vanishing and non-vanishing results and we highlight that the invariants may be used to distinguish different foliations on diffeomorphic manifolds.
