Twisted Iwasawa invariants of knots

Abstract

Let pp be a prime number and mm an integer coprime to pp. In the spirit of arithmetic topology, we introduce the notions of the twisted Iwasawa invariants λ,μ,ν\lambda, \mu, \nu of GLN{\rm GL}_N-representations and Z/mZ×Zp\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}_p-covers of knots. We prove among other things that the set of Iwasawa invariants determine the genus and the fiberedness of a knot, yielding their profinite rigidity. Several intuitive examples are attached. We further prove the μ=0\mu=0 theorem for SL2{\rm SL}_2-representations of twist knot groups and give some remarks.
