  • We renormalize the Chern-Simons invariant for convex-cocompact hyperbolic 3-manifolds by finding the asymptotics along an equidistance foliation. We prove that the metric Chern-Simons invariant has an exponentially divergent term given by the integral of the torsion 2-form with respect to a Weitzenböck connection. This produces the asymptotics of hyperbolic volume plus the metric Chern-Simons invariant, which is often called complex volume. The leading coefficient of the asymptotics introduces a complex-valued quantity consisting of mean curvature and torsion 2-form, which is defined on smooth surfaces embedded in a Riemann-Cartan 3-manifold.
