Reidemeister torsion for flat superconnections (Q2255557)

In this paper the authors define the Reidemeister torsion of flat \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-graded superconnections and they prove its combinatorial invariance. They also show that the Reidemeister torsion of flat \(\mathbb{Z}_2\)-graded superconnections reduces to the ordinary Reidemeister torsion. They conjecture a version of the Cheeger-Müller theorem, namely that the combinatorial Reidemeister torsion coincides with the analytic torsion by \textit{V. Mathai} and \textit{S. Wu} [Contemp. Math. 546, 199--212 (2011; Zbl 1252.58020)].
