The $L^2$–Alexander torsion is symmetric

Jérôme Dubois, Stefan Friedl and Wolfgang Lück

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 15 (2015) 3599–3612
Abstract

We show that the L2–Alexander torsion of a 3–manifold is a symmetric function. This can be viewed as a generalization of the symmetry of the Alexander polynomial of a knot.
