For a balanced sutured manifold pM, γq, we construct a decomposition of SHIpM, γq with respect to torsions in H " H 1 pM ; Zq, which generalizes the decomposition of I 7 pY q in previous work of the authors. This decomposition can be regarded as a candidate for the counterpart of the torsion spin c decompositions in SF HpM, γq. Based on this decomposition, we define an enhanced Euler characteristic χenpSHIpM, γqq P ZrHs{ ˘H and prove that χenpSHIpM, γqq " χpSF HpM, γqq. This provides a better lower bound on dim C SHIpM, γq than the graded Euler characteristic χgrpSHIpM, γqq. As applications, we prove instanton knot homology detects the unknot in any instanton L-space and show that the conjecture KHIpY, Kq -{ HF KpY, Kq holds for all p1, 1q-L-space knots and constrained knots in lens spaces, which include all torus knots and many hyperbolic knots in lens spaces.
