Surgery formula for the renormalized Euler characteristic of Heegaard Floer homology

Abstract

We prove a surgery formula for the renormalized Euler characteristic of Ozsvath and Szabo. Equality between this Euler cahracteristic and the Seiberg-Witten invariant follows for rational homology three-spheres.
