Abstract

Given a finite simplicial complex, a unimodular representation of its fundamental group and a closed twisted cochain of odd degree, we define a twisted version of the Reidemeister torsion, extending a previous definition of V. Mathai and S. Wu. The main tool is a complex of piecewise smooth currents, defined by J. Dupont.
