Abstract (English)

In this thesis the author shows that a sutured manifold is taut if and only if certain relativ L^2-Betti numbers are zero. As a consequence one obtains a relativ L^2-torsion for taut sutured manifolds. The author studies this L^2-torsion and relates it the the leading coefficient defined by Liu.

Translation of the abstract (German)

In dieser Arbeit zeigt der Autor, dass eine genähte Mannigfaltigkeit straff ist genau dann, wenn bestimmte relative L^2-Betti Zahlen verschwinden. Als Konsequenz existiert die relative L^2-Torsion für straff genähte Mannigfaltigkeiten. Der Autor untersucht diese L^2-Torsion und vergleicht sie mit Liu's Leitkoeffizient.
