Analytic torsion convergence conjecture for Benjamini–Schramm covers
Let be a fixed closed hyperbolic -manifold, and let be covers of that Benjamini–Schramm converge to hyperbolic -space . The analytic torsion convergence conjecture. One should have
This is presented as a broadening of the first, analytic-torsion part of the Bergeron–Venkatesh conjecture from arithmetic towers to all covers of a fixed closed hyperbolic -manifold. The source reports computational evidence supporting it, while also giving examples showing that Benjamini–Schramm convergence alone does not force the same conclusion for arbitrary sequences.
