Consequently, we obtain detailed information of their Eisenstein cohomology with coefficients in $\\m_\\lambda$. When $\\m_\\lambda$ is not self dual, the Eisenstein cohomology coincides with the cohomology of the underlying arithmetic group with coefficients in $\\m_\\lambda$. In particular, for such a large class of representations we can explicitly describe the cohomology of these two arithmetic groups. We accomplish this by studying the cohomology of the boundary of the Borel-Serre compactification and their Euler characteristic with coefficients in $\\m_\\lambda$. At the end, we employ our study to discuss the existence of ghost classes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-10T11:11:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "arithmetic group", "coefficients", "highest weight representation", "eisenstein cohomology coincides", "euler characteristic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
