We compute the framed instanton homology for double branched covers of such links. Aligning certain dotted markings on a link with bundle data over the branched cover, we also provide many computations of framed instanton homology in the presence of a non-trivial real 3-plane bundle. We discuss evidence for a spectral sequence from the twisted Khovanov homology of a link with mod 2 coefficients to the framed instanton homology of the double branched cover. We also discuss the relevant mod 4 gradings.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-17T23:02:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M27" ], "keywords": [ "khovanov homology", "two-fold quasi-alternating links", "framed instanton homology", "strictly containing quasi-alternating links", "double branched cover" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
