Abstract

We introduce a vanishing property of adjoint Reidemeister torsions of a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold derived from the physics of wrapped M5-branes on the manifold. To support our physical observation, we present a rigorous proof for the figure-eight knot complement with respect to all slopes. We also present numerical verification for several knots.
