Abstract: This paper establishes a new technique that enables us to access some fundamental structural properties of instanton Floer homology. As an application, we establish, for the first time, a relation between the instanton Floer homology of a 3-manifold or a null-homologous knot inside a 3-manifold and the Heegaard diagram of that 3-manifold or knot. We further use this relation to compute the instanton knot homology of some families of (1,1)-knots, including all torus knots in S3, which were mostly unknown before. As a second application, we also study the relation between the instanton knot homology KHI(Y,K) and the framed instanton Floer homology Isharp(Y). In particular, we prove the inequality dimmathbbCIsharp(Y)ledimmathbbCKHI(Y,K) for all rationally null-homologous knots KsubsetY and we constructed a new decomposition of the framed instanton Floer homology of Dehn surgeries along K that corresponds to the decomposition along torsion spinc decompositions in monopole and Heegaard Floer theory.
