Twisted $L^2$-torsion on the character variety

Geometric Topology 2020-09-15 v1

Abstract

We define a twisted L2L^2-torsion on the character variety of 3-manifold MM and study some of its properties. In the case where MM is hyperbolic of finite volume, we prove that the L2L^2-torsion is a real analytic function on a neighborhood of any lift of the holonomy representation.
