Title: The (twisted/L^2)-Alexander polynomial of an ideally triangulated 3-manifold.
Abstract: Ideal triangulation is a useful tool for studying 3-manifolds. It allows us to efficiently compute certain 3-manifold invariants (e.g. volume). In this talk, I would like to explain how the Alexander polynomial, as well as twisted/L^2 ones, are related to ideal triangulations. This work is joint with Stavros Garoufalidis.
