Abstract |
|
We generalize to higher algebraic -theory an identity (originally due to Milnor) that relates the Reidemeister torsion of an infinite cyclic cover to its Lefschetz zeta function. Our identity involves a higher torsion invariant, the endomorphism torsion, of a parametrized family of endomorphisms as well as a higher zeta function of such a family. We also exhibit several examples of families of endomorphisms having nontrivial endomorphism torsion. |
Keywords
zeta function, Reidemeister torsion, $K\mkern-2mu$-theory
