Chern-Simons reciprocity for boundary-parabolic representations

About 4 years old · traced to

Let MM be an oriented compact 33-manifold with a torus boundary, and let RSL2(C)para(M)\mathrm{R}^{\rm para}_{\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})}(M) be the set of conjugacy classes of boundary-parabolic representations π1(M)→SL2(C)\pi_1(M)\to\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C}). Assume this set is finite, and let CS(ρ)∈C/Z\mathrm{CS}(\rho)\in\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z} denote the Chern-Simons invariant. Boundary-parabolic Chern-Simons reciprocity conjecture. If ∣RSL2(C)para(M)∣<∞|\mathrm{R}^{\rm para}_{\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})}(M)|<\infty, then

24∑ρ∈RSL2(C)para(M)CS(ρ)=0.24\sum_{\rho\in\mathrm{R}^{\rm para}_{\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})}(M)}\mathrm{CS}(\rho)=0.

The statement is posed as an analogue of the closed-manifold reciprocity problem for manifolds with torus boundary; the supplied passage gives no proof or resolution.
