Query: A Cheeger-Mueller theorem for symmetric bilinear torsions   We generalize a theorem of Bismut-Zhang, which extends the Cheeger-Mueller
theorem on Ray-Singer torsion and Reidemeister torsion, to the case where the
flat vector bundle over a closed manifold carries a nondegenerate symmetric
bilinear form. As a consequence, we prove the Burghelea-Haller conjecture which
gives an analytic interpretation of the Turaev torsion. It thus also provides
an analytic interpretation of (not merely the absolute value of) the Alexander
polynomial in knot theory.
