Knot homology groups from instantons

For each partial flag manifold of SU(N), we define a Floer homology theory for knots in 3-manifolds, using instantons with codimension-2 singularities. In the case of SU(2), the resulting Floer homology group for classical knots appears to be related to Khovanov homology.
