Abstract

We generalize a Cheeger-M\"uller type theorem for flat, unitary bundles on infinite covering spaces over manifolds-with-boundary, proven by Burghelea, Friedlander and Kappeller arXiv:dg-ga/9510010 [math.DG]. Employing recent anomaly results by Br\"uning, Ma and Zhang, we prove an analogous statement for a general flat bundle that is only required to have a unimodular restriction to the boundary.
