Abstract
We determine the framed instanton homology with coefficients in for Dehn surgeries on a knot in the -sphere. The dimension of these groups is seen to have a close relationship with a homology cobordism invariant due to Froyshov. As an application, we show that -surgery on a non-trivial knot cannot be nondegenerate -abelian for any , which is for even and for odd.
