Oct 19, 2020 at 19:02 comment added Gibbon If you're interested in relations to dynamical systems, check out the Fried conjecture.
Oct 19, 2020 at 18:28 comment added Gibbon For instance, see definition 4 in these notes. maths.ed.ac.uk/~v1ranick/papers/torsion.pdf In analytic torsion, you form an alternating product after taking some powers of the regularized determinant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_torsion The Cheeger Muller theorem relates these two invariants under certain conditions.
Oct 19, 2020 at 18:22 comment added Gibbon So the torsion invariants are defined using alternating products as people have discussed in the comments in the question. For the Reidemeister torsion, it's easier to see this in the case where the complex is acyclic.
