Twisted Reidemeister torsion for twist knots

The aim of this paper is to give an explicit formula for the SL2(C)-twisted Reidemeister torsion as defined in [6] in the case of twist knots. For hyperbolic twist knots, we also prove that the twisted Reidemeister torsion at the holonomy representation can be expressed as a rational function evalua...

Sumario:The aim of this paper is to give an explicit formula for the SL2(C)-twisted Reidemeister torsion as defined in [6] in the case of twist knots. For hyperbolic twist knots, we also prove that the twisted Reidemeister torsion at the holonomy representation can be expressed as a rational function evaluated at the cusp shape of the knot. Tables given approximations of the twisted Reidemeister torsion for twist knots on some concrete examples are also enclosed.
