Analytic torsion formula for cones over odd-dimensional spheres
Analytic torsion formula for cones over odd-dimensional spheres
Let be the cone of angle and length over the odd-dimensional sphere , equipped with the standard metric induced by the immersion in and absolute boundary conditions. Assume . Analytic torsion conjecture. The analytic torsion satisfies
This formula agrees with the corresponding expression for cones over the circle and over the -sphere, where it is a theorem for ; the conjecture concerns the additional contribution of the singularity in higher odd dimensions.
