Poincaré duality and degrees of twisted Alexander polynomials
arXiv:1107.3002
Abstract
We prove duality theorems for twisted Reidemeister torsions and twisted Alexander polynomials generalizing the results of Turaev. As a corollary we determine the parity of the degrees of twisted Alexander polynomials of 3-manifolds in many cases.
