Pin(2)-equivariant KO-theory and intersection forms of spin four-manifolds

Using Seiberg-Witten Floer spectrum and Pin(2)-equivariant KO-theory, we prove new Furuta-type inequalities on the intersection forms of spin cobordisms between homology $3$-spheres. As an application, we give explicit constrains on the intersection forms of spin $4$-manifolds bounded by Brieskorn spheres $\pmΣ(2,3,6k\pm1)$. Along the way, we also give an alternative proof of Furuta-Kametanni's improvement of 10/8-theorem for closed spin-4 manifolds.
