Analytic Torsion on Hyperbolic Manifolds and the Semiclassical Approximation for Chern-Simons Theory
arXiv:hep-th/9805187 · doi:10.1142/S0217732398002618
Abstract
The invariant integration method for Chern-Simons theory for gauge group SU(2) and manifold Γ\H^3 is verified in the semiclassical approximation. The semiclassical limit for the partition function associated with a connected sum of hyperbolic 3-manifolds is presented. We discuss briefly L^2 - analytical and topological torsions of a manifold with boundary.
