We study the Heegaard Floer homology of the branched double-cover $Σ(L)$ of $S^3$, branched along $L$. When $L$ is an alternating link, $\HFa$ of its branched double-cover has a particularly simple form, determined entirely by the determinant of the link. For the general case, we derive a spectral sequence whose $E^2$ term is a suitable variant of Khovanov's homology for the link $L$, converging to the Heegaard Floer homology of $Σ(L)$.36 pages, 12 figuresGeometric TopologySymplectic Geometry57Rtext
