Bochner-type constraint from the Seiberg-Witten equations. For any solution $(A, \psi)$, combining the Weitzenbock formula with $\|\nabla\psi\|^2 \ge 0$ yields $$\tfrac{s}{4}\,\|\psi\|^2_{\sup} + \tfrac{1}{4}\,\|\psi\|^4_{\sup} \le 0,$$ where $s$ is the (sampled) scalar curvature value.

Positive scalar curvature forces $\psi \equiv 0$. If $s > 0$, then the Bochner constraint forces $\|\psi\|^2_{\sup} = 0$, so every SW solution is reducible. This is the analytic core of the vanishing of SW invariants on PSC manifolds.

Solutions on PSC manifolds are reducible. Combining the previous lemma with the reducibility characterization $\|\psi\|^2_{\sup} = 0 \iff \text{reducible}$: any SW solution on a manifold of positive scalar curvature is reducible.
