Torsion Invariants for Families
We give an overview over the higher torsion invariants of Bismut-Lott, Igusa-Klein and Dwyer-Weiss-Williams, including some more or less recent developments. The classical Franz-Reidemeister torsion τFR is an invariant of manifolds with acyclic unitarily flat vector bundles [62], [33]. In contrast to most other algebraic-topological invariants known at that time, it is invariant under homeomorp...
متن کاملGroups with torsion, bordism and rho-invariants
Let Γ be a discrete group, and let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension m > 3 with π1(M) = Γ. We assume that M admits a Riemannian metric of positive scalar curvature. We discuss how to use the L-rho invariant ρ(2) and the delocalized eta invariant η associated to the Dirac operator on M in order to get information about the space of metrics with positive scalar curvature. In particular ...
متن کاملTwisted Torsion Invariants and Link Concordance
The twisted torsion of a 3-manifold is well-known to be zero whenever the corresponding twisted Alexander module is non-torsion. Under mild extra assumptions we introduce a new twisted torsion invariant which is always non-zero. We show how this torsion invariant relates to the twisted intersection form of a bounding 4-manifold, generalizing a theorem of Milnor to the non-acyclic case. Using th...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Severe Plastic Deformation by High Pressure Torsion
High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a metal processing method in which the sample is subjected to a very high plastic shear deformation. This process can produce exceptional levels of grain refinement, and provides a corresponding improvement in mechanical properties. To investigate the stress and strain distribution due to HPT process finite element simulation were conducted to investigate effectiv...
متن کاملFinite volume calculation of K-theory invariants
Odd index pairings of K1-group elements with Fredholm modules are of relevance in index theory, differential geometry and applications such as to topological insulators. For the concrete setting of operators on a Hilbert space over a lattice, it is shown how to calculate the resulting index as the signature of a suitably constructed finitedimensional matrix, more precisely the finite volume res...
