Abstract :
[en] We use higher parallel transport -- more precisely, the integration A-infinity-functor constructed
in -to define Reidemeister torsion for flat superconnections. We conjecture a version of the Cheeger-Müller theorem, namely that the combinatorial Reidemeister torsion coincides with the analytic torsion defined by Mathai and Wu.
