Turaev torsion of 3-manifolds with boundary
by
Christopher Truman
University of Maryland

I will talk on results relating leading order terms of Turaev torsion to certain "determinants" in cohomology (which can arise from cup products, or more generally Massey products) for 3-manifolds with boundary. These are analogous to some results of Turaev for closed 3-manifolds.
