Abstract
Let be a rationally null-homologous knot in a -manifold , equipped with a nonzero framing , and let denote the result of -framed surgery on . Ozsv\'ath and Szab\'o gave a formula for the Heegaard Floer homology groups of in terms of the knot Floer complex of . We strengthen this formula by adding a second filtration that computes the knot Floer complex of the dual knot in , i.e., the core circle of the surgery solid torus. In the course of proving our refinement we derive a combinatorial formula for the Alexander grading which may be of independent interest.
