Reidemeister-Franz Torsion of Compact Orientable Surfaces via Pants Decomposition

Esma Dirican Erdal, Yaşar Sözen

Let ${\Sigma }_{g,n}$ denote the compact orientable surface with genus $g\ge 2$ and boundary disjoint union of $n$ circles. By using a particular pants-decomposition of ${\Sigma }_{g,n},$ we obta…
