Abstract
We introduce non-acyclic PGLn(C)-torsion of a 3-manifold with toroidal boundary as an extension of J. Porti’s PGL2(C)-torsion, and present an explicit formula of the PGLn(C)-torsion of a mapping torus for a surface with punctures, by using the higher Teichmüler theory due to V. Fock and A. Goncharov. Our formula gives a concrete rational function which represents the torsion function and comes from a concrete cluster transformation associated with the mapping class.
