Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a sequence of invariants of a knot in : the knot Floer homology groups of the preimage of in the –fold cyclic branched cover over . We exhibit as the categorification of a well-defined multiple of the Turaev torsion of in the case where is a rational homology sphere. In addition, when is a two-bridge knot, we prove that for the spin Spin structure on . We conclude with a calculation involving two knots with identical for which differ as –graded groups.
