Analytic torsions associated with the Rumin complex on contact spheres

Differential Geometry 2022-11-22 v1

Abstract

We explicitly write down all eigenvalues of the Rumin Laplacian on the standard contact spheres, and express the analytic torsion functions associated with the {Rumin complex} in terms of the Riemann zeta function. In particular, we find that the functions vanish at the origin and determine the analytic torsions.
