Knot concordance, the point class in instanton homology and Donaldson invariants
Abstract
We define an invariant for knots in the 3-sphere by means of Donaldson invariants and Floer's instanton homology. Some basic properties of this invariant are established and it is shown that coincides with a special case of an invariant defined by Froyshov
