As an application, we obtain a new formula for the volume of a hyperideal tetrahedron in terms of its dihedral angles. Moreover, by using the ideal triangulation, we verify the 1-loop conjecture proposed by Dimofte and Garoufalidis for every fundamental shadow link complement. We also prove a surgery formula for the 1-loop invariant with respect to certain nice ideal triangulations of 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-08-12T21:08:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57K32", "57K31" ], "keywords": [ "fundamental shadow link complement", "conjecture", "application", "geometric ideal triangulation", "nice ideal triangulations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 52, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
