Let Y be obtained by Dehn filling a torus boundary of X, with core class h∈H1​(Y). Choose a one-dimensional coefficient representation ρ:H1​(Y)→F× over a field, with ρ(h)=1, and assume the associated twisted chain complexes are acyclic. Then, up to the usual torsion unit,
τρ​(Y)≐ρ(h)−1τρ∣X​(X)​.

With compatible Euler structures and homology orientations, the refined formula fixes that ambiguity. The denominator comes from the attached solid torus's circle complex. When ρ(h)=1, this division is unavailable; additional homology data are needed.[ref]
