Non abelian twisted Reidemeister torsion for fibered knots

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

In this article, we give an explicit formula to compute the non-abelian twisted sign-determined Reidemeister torsion of the exterior of a fibered knot in terms of its monodromy. As an application, we give explicit formulae for the non abelian Reidemeister torsion of torus knots and of the figure eight knot.
