Instanton Floer homology and the Alexander polynomial

The instanton Floer homology of a knot in the three-sphere is a vector space with a canonical mod 2 grading. It carries a distinguished endomorphism of even degree, arising from the 2-dimensional homology class represented by a Seifert surface. The Floer homology decomposes as a direct sum of the ge...
