Riemann-Roch isomorphism, Chern-Simons invariant and Liouville action (1411.3058v3)

Abstract: Using the arithmetic Schottky uniformization theory, we show the arithmeticity of $PSL_{2}({\mathbb C})$ Chern-Simons invariant. In terms of this invariant, we give an explicit formula of the Riemann-Roch isomorphism as Zograf-Mcintyre-Takhtajan's infinite product for families of algebraic curves. By this formula, we determine the unknown constant which appears in the holomorphic factorization formula of determinant of Laplacians on Riemann surfaces via the classical Liouville action. As an application, we show the rationality of Ruelle zeta values for Schottky uniformized $3$-manifolds.
