LET Z be an oriented integral homology 3-sphere. In this paper we associate to C a discrete set Ax c R and for each p E [wx= Iw\Ax an abelian group S’,)(C) with a natural Z grading. Furthermore, fx (Y $“(Z))= A (C), where n (E) is Casson’s invariant (see [1)). In particular, 4x (9$“(Z)) E p (Z)(mod 2). where p (Z) is the Kervaire-Milnor-Rochlin invariant of Z. These groups will depend on n only through the interval in Iwr in which p lies; ie if the interval [pO, pl] c lWr, then as graded groups Y?‘(C)= Y’$‘(C). Furthermore, the set AZ is invariant under the translation r~ r+ 1 and 9$‘+“(Z)= 9$‘\,(Z). The groups 9 t’(C) can be viewed as integer lifts of the Floer homology groups 9,(YE),+ E&, introduced in 14-J. in the following sense. Let W (C) denote the space of conjugacy classes of representations a: nl (C)+ SU (2). and let 8 denote the class of the trivial representation. For simplicity assume that all nontrivial representations are regular, ie that H’(Z; ad (a))= 0 for every representation a~ 9?*(Z)= gP (Z)\{O}. By carefully analyzing the behavior of the Chern-Simons invariant c: 5 r-+ R on the infinite cyclic cover &z of the space of gauge equivalence classes of connections Or in the trivial bundle over C, we associate in $2 to each a ES (C) and FE 9I’ea well-defined integer P’(a) and define 9$‘(E)= Z {aE44 (; r.)\{0} 11”‘(a)=‘I}. If we let R,(X),+ E Z8 denote Floer’s chain groups C41, then, er%‘~~~(Z) z R,(E), for no Za. After defining a boundary operator 8”: & ‘$‘(Z)+ W! $,(Z) similar to that of Fleer’s [4] and showing in $2 that d’“‘d”’= 0, we have the resulting homology groups 9$“(E). In general, for* E he, Z,, zS $‘! 8,(Z)# I,(Z). However, in $5 we construct a spectral sequence with It’(C) as its E’term and converging to I,(C).It is not always the case that all UEW (E) are regular, so in $3 we show how to define these instanton homology groups in general by perturbing the Chern-Simons function. Then in $4 we show that these groups are independent of perturbation and are thus topological invariants.
