We prove that higher Franz-Reidemeister (FR) torsion satisfies the transfer property and a formula known as the “Framing Principle” in full generality. We use these properties to compute the higher FR–torsion for all smooth bundles with oriented closed even dimensional manifold fibers. We also show that the higher complex torsion invariants of bundles with closed almost complex fibers are multiples of generalized Miller-Morita-Mumford classes.
