Abstract

By using surgery techniques, we compute Floer homology for certain classes of integral homology 3-spheres homology cobordant to zero. We prove that Floer homology is two-periodic for all these manifolds. Based on this fact, we introduce a new integer valued invariant of integral homology 3-spheres. Our computations suggest its homology cobordism invariance.
