An $SO(3)$-version of $2$-torsion instanton invariants
[ 講演概要 ]
We construct invariants for simply connected, non-spin $4$-manifolds using torsion cohomology classes of moduli spaces of ASD connections on $SO(3)$-bundles. The invariants are $SO(3)$-version of Fintushel-Stern's $2$-torsion instanton invariants. We show that this $SO(3)$-torsion invariant of $2CP^2 \\# -CP^2$ is non-trivial, while it is known that any invariants of $2CP^2 \\# - CP^2$ coming from the Seiberg-Witten theory are trivial
since $2CP^2 \\# -CP^2$ has a positive scalar curvature metric.

On the non-acyclic Reidemeister torsion for knots
[ 講演概要 ]
The Reidemeister torsion is an invariant of a CW-complex and a representation of its fundamental group. We consider the Reidemeister torsion for a knot exterior in a homology three sphere and a representation given by the composition of an SL(2, C)- (or SU(2)-) representation of the knot group and the adjoint action to the Lie algebra.
We will see that this invariant is expressed by the differential coefficient of the twisted Alexander invariant of the knot and investigate some properties of the invariant by using this relation.
