Connecting Galois Representations With Cohomology, Joseph Allen Adams Jun 2014

Connecting Galois Representations With Cohomology, Joseph Allen Adams

Theses and Dissertations

In this paper, we examine the conjecture of Avner Ash, Darrin Doud, David Pollack, and Warren Sinnott relating Galois representations to the mod p cohomology of congruence subgroups of the general linear group of n dimensions over the integers. We present computational evidence for this conjecture (the ADPS Conjecture) for the case n = 3 by finding Galois representations which appear to correspond to cohomology eigenclasses predicted by the ADPS Conjecture for the prime p, level N, and quadratic nebentype. The examples include representations which appear to be attached to cohomology eigenclasses which arise from D8, S3, A5, and S5 …


Hecke Eigenvalues And Arithmetic Cohomology, William Leonard Cocke Jun 2014

Hecke Eigenvalues And Arithmetic Cohomology, William Leonard Cocke

Theses and Dissertations

We provide algorithms and documention to compute the cohomology of congruence subgroups of the special linear group over the integers when n=3 using the well-rounded retract and the Voronoi decomposition. We define the Sharbly complex and how one acts on a k-sharbly by the Hecke operators. Since the norm of a sharbly is not preserved by the Hecke operators we also examine the reduction techniques described by Gunnells and present our implementation of said techniques for n=3.
