The adjoint Reidemeister torsion for compact 3-manifolds admitting a unique decomposition

Authors: ESMA DİRİCAN ERDAL

Abstract: Let $M$ be a triangulated, oriented, connected compact $3$-manifold with a connected nonempty boundary. Such a manifold admits a unique decomposition into $\triangle$-prime $3$-manifolds. In this paper, we show that the adjoint Reidemeister torsion has a multiplicative property on the disk sum decomposition of compact $3$-manifolds without a corrective term.
