Comparison of the Refined Analytic and the Burghelea-haller Torsions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We express the Burghelea-Haller complex Ray-Singer torsion in terms of the square of the refined analytic torsion and the η-invariant. As an application we obtain new results about the Burghelea-Haller torsion. In particular, we prove a weak version of the Burghelea-Haller conjecture relating their torsion with the square of the Turaev combinatorial torsion.

Complex valued Ray–Singer torsion II
In this paper we extend Witten–Helffer–Sjöstrand theory from selfadjoint Laplacians based on fiber wise Hermitian structures, to non-selfadjoint Laplacians based on fiber wise non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms. As an application we verify, up to sign, the conjecture about the comparison of the Milnor–Turaev torsion with the complex valued analytic torsion, for odd dimensional manifolds. T...
متن کاملTorsion without the Determinant Class Condition and Extended L2 Cohomology
We associate determinant lines to objects of the extended abelian category built out of a von Neumann category with a trace. Using this we suggest constructions of the combinatorial and the analytic L torsions which, unlike the work of the previous authors, requires no additional assumptions; in particular we do not impose the determinant class condition. The resulting torsions are elements of ...
متن کاملAnalytic and Reidemeister Torsion for Representations in Finite Type Hilbert Modules
For a closed Riemannian manifold (M,g) we extend the definition of analytic and Reidemeister torsion associated to an orthogonal representation of π1(M) on a A−Hilbert module W of finite type where A is a finite von Neumann algebra. If (M,W) is of determinant class we prove, generalizing the Cheeger-Müller theorem, that the analytic and Reidemeister torsion are equal. In particular, this proves...
متن کاملTorsions for Manifolds with Boundary and Glueing Formulas
We extend the definition of analytic and Reidemeister torsion from closed compact Riemannian manifolds to compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (M,∂M), given a flat bundle F of A-Hilbert modules of finite type and a decomposition of the boundary ∂M = ∂−M ∪ ∂+M into disjoint components. If the system (M,∂−M,∂+M,F) is of determinant class we compute the quotient of the analytic and the Reide...
