Resumen de Higher-dimensional reidemeister torsion for cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds
In this thesis we introduce the definition of a new family of invariants for a hyperbolic 3-manifold. These invariants are called higher-dimensional Reidemeister torsion invariants, since they are defined as a certain Reidemeister torsion using the n-dimensional fundamental representation of SL(2,C). Among others, we study the following aspects about such invariants: asymptotic behaviour, geometric interpretation, mutation.
