If $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated Fuchsian group such that its derived subgroup $\Gamma'$ is co-compact and torsion free, then $S={\mathbb H}^{2}/\Gamma'$ is a closed Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ admitting the abelian group…

We identify the finitely many arithmetic lattices $\Gamma$ in the orientation preserving isometry group of hyperbolic $3$-space $\mathbb{H}^3$ generated by an element of order $4$ and and element of order $p\geq 2$. Thus $\Gamma$ has a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed genus $g$ surface that contains the Torelli group. For instance, $\Gamma$ can be the level $L$ subgroup or the spin mapping class group. We show that…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Schottky subgroup of $\mathrm{SL} (2,\mathbb{Z})$. We establish a uniform and explicit lower bound of the second eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of congruence coverings of the hyperbolic surface $\Gamma…

We show for g > 6 that the second homology group of the Torelli group of a surface of genus g and 1 boundary component is generated as an Sp(2g,Z)-module by the image under the stabilization map of the second homology group of the Torelli…

We prove the existence of a pair $(\Sigma ,\, \Gamma)$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact Riemann surface with $\text{genus}(\Sigma)\, \geq\, 2$, and $\Gamma\, \subset\, {\mathrm SL}(2, \mathbb C)$ is a cocompact lattice, such that there is a…

Let $\Gamma_n(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$. Borel-Serre proved that the cohomology of $\Gamma_n(p)$ vanishes above degree $\binom{n}{2}$. We study the cohomology in this top degree…

Let $N>1$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma = \Gamma_0 (N) \subset \SL_4 (\Z)$ be the subgroup of matrices with bottom row congruent to $(0,0,0,*)\mod N$. We compute $H^5 (\Gamma; \C) $ for a range of $N$, and compute the action of some Hecke…

Let $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for all prime $p$. Borel--Serre demonstrated that the cohomology of $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ vanishes above degree $n^2$. We prove…

Let $\Gamma$ be the mapping class group of an oriented surface $\Sigma$ of genus g with r boundary components. We prove that the first cohomology group $H^1(\Gamma, O(M_{SL(2, C)})^*)$ is non-trivial, where the coefficient module is the…

We characterize sequences of positive integers (c 1 , c 2 , ..., cn) for which the (2 x 2)-matrix c 1 --1 1 0 $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ cn --1 1 0 belongs to the principal congruence subgroup of level 2 in SL(2, Z). The answer is given in…

For any integers $p\geq 2$ and $q\geq 1$, let $\mathbb{H}^{p,q}$ be the pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic space of signature $(p,q)$. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is the fundamental group of a closed aspherical $p$-manifold, then the set of…

We extend the computations in [AGM4] to find the mod 2 homology in degree 1 of a congruence subgroup Gamma of SL(4,Z) with coefficients in the sharbly complex, along with the action of the Hecke algebra. This homology group is closely…

In this paper, we classify all the orientable hyperbolic 5-manifolds that arise as a hyperbolic space form $H^5/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index of the congruence two subgroup $\Gamma^5_2$ of the group…

We use geometric techniques to explicitly find the topological structure of the space of SO(3)-representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus 2 quotient by the conjugation action by SO(3). There are two components of…

We compare the homology of a congruence subgroup Gamma of GL_2(Z) with coefficients in the Steinberg modules over Q and over E, where E is a real quadratic field. If R is any commutative base ring, the last connecting homomorphism…

In two previous papers [AGM1, AGM2] we computed cohomology groups H^5(\Gamma_0 (N); \C) for a range of levels N, where \Gamma_0 (N) is the congruence subgroup of SL_4 (\Z) consisting of all matrices with bottom row congruent to (0,0,0,*)…

We construct a counter example to show that the Homogeneity Conjecture, first proposed by J.A. Wolf in 1962, is not true. To be precise, we prove that on the Lie group Sp(2), there exists a left invariant Riemannian metric and a cyclic…

Let $N(\Gamma,G)$ be the number of homomorphisms from $\Gamma$ to $G$ up to conjugation by $G$. Physics of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories predicts that $N(\Gamma,G)=N(\Gamma , \tilde G)$ when $\Gamma$ is a…

For $g\geq 2$, let $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{Sp}(2g,\mathbb{R})$ be a discrete subgroup, which is either a cocompact subgroup or an arithmetic subgroup without torsion elements, and let $\mathbb{H}_{g}$ denote the Siegel upper half space of…
