Asymptotics of twisted Alexander polynomials and hyperbolic volume

Given a hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume M, we compute the asymptotics of the family of twisted Alexander polynomials on the unit circle. We show it grows exponentially as the volume times the square of the dimension of the representation. Joint work with J. Dubois, M. Heusener and J. Porti. The proof goes through the study of the analytic torsion of some compact hyperbolic manifolds obtained by Dehn surgery on M.
