In the previous article "Refined Analytic Torsion on Manifolds with Boundary" we have presented a construction of refined analytic torsion in the spirit of Braverman and Kappeler, which does apply to compact manifolds with and without boundary. We now derive a gluing formula for our construction, which can be viewed as a gluing law for the original definition of refined analytic torsion by Braverman and Kappeler. A gluing formula allows to compute the torsion invariant by cutting the manifold into elementary pieces and performing computations on each component. Certainly, the general fact of existence of such gluing formulas is remarkable from the analytic point of view, since the secondary spectral invariants are uppermost non-local.
