Reciprocity of the Chern-Simons invariants of 3-manifolds (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Given an oriented closed 3-manifold $M$ and a representation $\pi_1(M) \longrightarrow SL_2(\mathbb{C})$, we can define the Chern-Simons invariant and adjoint Reidemeister torsion. Recently, several physicists and topologists pose and study reciprocity conjectures of the torsions. Analogously, I pose reciprocity conjectures of the Chern-Simons invariants of 3-manifolds, and argue some supporting evidence on the conjectures. Especially, I show that the conjectures hold if Galois descent of a certain $K_3$-group is satisfied. In this talk, I will explain the backgrounds and the results in detail.
