Reidemeister torsion for flat superconnections

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
