Khovanov defined graded homology groups for links LR 3 and showed that their polynomial Euler characteristic is the Jones polyno- mial of L. Khovanov's construction does not extend in a straightforward way to links in I-bundles M over surfaces F 6 D 2 (except for the homol- ogy with Z/2 coefficients only). Hence, the goal of this paper is to provide a nontrivial generalization of his method leading to homology invariants of links in M with arbitrary rings of coefficients. After proving the invariance of our homology groups under Reidemeister moves, we show that the polynomial Euler characteristics of our homology groups of L determine the coefficients ofL in the standard basis of the skein module of M. Therefore, our homology groups provide a "categorifi- cation" of the Kauffman bracket skein module of M. Additionally, we prove a generalization of Viro's exact sequence for our homology groups. Finally, we show a duality theorem relating cohomology groups of any link L to the homology groups of the mirror image of L. AMS Classification 57M27; 57M25, 57R56
