<Vladimir Turaev> develops invariants in low-dimensional <topology>. His work on <Reidemeister torsion> refines invariants using <Euler structures> and relates them to <Seiberg-Witten invariant of a three-manifold> of three-manifolds.<Surgery formula for torsions and Seiberg-Witten invariants of 3-manifolds by Vladimir Turaev>[Original byline and abstract]{ref}

A formula for <Dehn surgery> describes how an invariant changes when a manifold is assembled by filling boundary tori. Tracking the coefficient system and the extra geometric structures is essential: the same underlying filling can have different invariant data. His paper supplies formulas in this refined setting.<Surgery formula for torsions and Seiberg-Witten invariants of 3-manifolds by Vladimir Turaev>[Sections 4.1–4.2 and 5.1–5.2]{ref}
