Nielsen invariant and Reidemeister torsion are rather related. There are many article now on this relation, see
Alexander Fel’shtyn, New directions in Nielsen-Reidemeister theory, arxiv/0712.2601; Nielsen theory, Floer homology and a generalisation of the Poincare-Birkhoff theorem, arxiv/0807.0045; The growth rate of Floer homology and symplectic zeta function, arxiv/1101.4495
There are also some precursors like dilogarithm functions from the end of 19th century, closely related to the subject.
