contents There are several knot invariants in the literature that are defined using singular instantons. Such invariants provide strong tools to study the knot group and give topological applications. For instance, it gives powerful tools to study the topology of knots in terms of representations of fundamental groups. In particular, it is shown that any traceless representation of the torus knot group can be extended to any concordance from the torus knot to another knot. Daemi and Scaduto proposed a generalization that is related to a version of the Slice-Ribbon conjecture to torus knots. The results of this paper provide further evidence towards the positive answer to this question. The method is a generalization of Daemi-Scaduto's equivariant singular instanton Floer theory following Echeverria's earlier work. Moreover, the irreducible singular instanton homology of torus knots for all but finitely many rational holonomy parameters are determined as $\mathbb{Z}/4$-graded abelian groups.
