\(\text{SL}_2(\mathbb C)\)-character variety of a hyperbolic link and regulator (Q627403)

This is a sequel of the paper by the same authors [Commun. Contemp. Math. 10, Suppl. 1, 1023--1032 (2008; Zbl 1221.57021)], where they gave a relation of the \(\roman{SL}(2;\mathbb{C})\)-character variety of a hyperbolic knot complement to the volume and the Chern-Simons invariant by using a torsion element in \(K_2(\mathbb{C}(Y))\) and the regulator map, where \(Y\) is an irreducible component of the zero locus of the \(A\)-polynomial of a knot. In this paper the authors generalize the result to the case of hyperbolic links.
